The correct answer is C.

<em>Insanity defense</em> is also known as mental disorder defense. It is applied in a court of law when the defendant is not responsible for his or her actions due <em>to a persistent psychiatric disease at the time of the criminal act.</em>

The defendant usually admits the action but asserts the lack of culpability based on a mental illness. The defendant is deemed legally incompetent and he/she can not stand trial.

Those found to have been not guilty due to insanity are required to undergo psychiatric treatment in a mental institution.

1. What role does the legislative branch (Congress) play in passing a law?
Yuri [45]
1. the legislative branch of government (Congress) examines a proposed bill and can either reject or vote to make it into a law.

2: when Congress votes in favor of making a bill into law, the Executive branch of government ( the president) signs it into law. If the president does not approve of the bill, he/she can veto it, and send recommendations to Congress to amend the bill.

if Congress approves a bill 2/3 or more of both the house and Senate, it shall become a law, and the president cant veto it.


3: The judicial branch of government (the supreme Court) interprets laws and upholds the constitution. When disagreements occur between the legislative and executive branches of government, the judicial branch has the power to resolve the disagreement by interpreting the law in view of existing laws and the consitution.

4: the varying roles of the three branches of government prove a system of checks and balances so that no branch of government can abuse power or authority over the governed.
