Answer 2

Answer:

B. are definitions that are used in the legal system.

Explanation:

Sanity and insanity are definitions used in the legal system, often to attest to a person's cognitive ability to commit some criminal acts.

In criminal proceedings, the claim of mental insanity is used when the defense wishes to provide a certificate stating that the reu has some illness or mental disability that led him to commit a specific crime, in which case the defense states that the reu cannot be held responsible. by his actions, his mental capacity is already null. On the other hand, the sanity claim occurs when the prosecution states that the reu should be held responsible for their actions because their mental capacity is wholly healthy.
