Answer:
Can you name the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century? No, it wasn’t Hitler or Stalin. It was Mao Zedong.
According to the authoritative “Black Book of Communism,” an estimated 65 million Chinese died as a result of Mao’s repeated, merciless attempts to create a new “socialist” China. Anyone who got in his way was done away with -- by execution, imprisonment or forced famine.
For Mao, the No. 1 enemy was the intellectual. The so-called Great Helmsman reveled in his blood-letting, boasting, “What’s so unusual about Emperor Shih Huang of the China Dynasty? He had buried alive 460 scholars only, but we have buried alive 46,000 scholars.” Mao was referring to a major “accomplishment” of the Great Cultural Revolution, which from 1966-1976 transformed China into a great House of Fear.
Abuse of power or abuse of authority, in the form of "malfeasance in office" or "official misconduct", is the commission of an unlawful act, done in an official capacity, which affects the performance of official duties. Power kills, absolute Power kills absolutely. This new Power Principle is the message emerging from my previous work on the causes of war1 and this book on genocide and government mass murder--what I call democide--in this century. The more power a government has, the more it can act arbitrarily according to the whims and desires of the elite, the more it will make war on others and murder its foreign and domestic subjects. The more constrained the power of governments, the more it is diffused, checked and balanced, the less it will aggress on others and commit democide. At the extremes of Power2, totalitarian communist governments slaughter their people by the tens of millions, while many democracies can barely bring themselves to execute even serial murderers.

She knows that his mother has a drinking problem. Sam could be displaying effects of behavioral <u><em>teratogens</em></u> that his mother ingested while he was in the womb..
Explanation:
Teratogens are a medical specialty dedicated to the study of anomalies and malformations linked to a disturbance of embryonic or fetal development. In Sam's case, the teratogens would be caused by her mother's alcohol ingesting during the gestation. This would cause Sam's problematic behavior.

One of the first instances when the “not guilty by reason of insanity” defenses was used involved the following defendant:
Daniel M’Naughten
M’Naughten was put on trial in 1843 on charges of murder for killing the Prime Minister’s secretary Edward Drummond (it is believed that he thought Drummond was the Prime Minister). This case established the “M’Naughten Rules” in law that pertain to the insanity defense.
