Answer:

(D) Both can be convicted of murder.

Explanation:

The common law of murder refers to the murderous act of taking someone's life regardless of the intention. This criminal act is an element of malice aforethought, terming any criminal act with predetermined intent as common law.

In the case of Sally and Ralph, though the ricocheting bullet was not intended. their predetermined intent in robbing the bank means they are culpable of ac crime. And in that course of action, the accidental killing of one of the bank's customers makes them guilty of the crime of murder.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

According to hobbes, ______ motivates individuals to cooperate in the formation of government and inspires them to obey the laws
jasenka [17]
I believe the answer is: Fear.

Hobbes believed that people would naturally rejects every effort to restrict their full personal freedom to be able to do whatever they want.
The very nature of 'law' itself is to restrict this full freedom in order to maintain a certain level of harmony in a society. Because of this, the people wouldn't follow the law willingly unless there is a punishment for it.
