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.

tangare [24]

The correct answer is - c. It helped a few African colonies gain independence from their rulers.

The Pan-African Congress was taking place with the purpose of making Africa a free continent, to help the Africans have their own nations, to be free, to have their rights respected. The goal of the Pan-African Congress started to become reality after 1945. Initially few countries gained independence, without bloodshed, with the Pan-African Congress being very influential in that process, which made the organization a reputation as a peacemaker and peacekeeping organization. That initial gain of independence of some countries in Africa was followed by a chain reaction, where one by one, all of the countries in Africa gained independence.
