B. Structured,routine life
Answer:
By the provision of Article 5 of the Articles of Confederation, Congress (House of Representatives and Senate) could not serve more than a six years term.
Explanation:
The Articles of confederation was written in 1771 and approved in 1781. The Articles of confederation which was the first constitution of America established an organ of government namely; the Legislature without an Executive organ. The Legislative organ of government is known as the Congress, made up of the House of Representatives and Senate.
It established a bicameral Legislative organ that had representatives from the 13 states at that time. Under the Articles, Congress got their powers from the powers directly delegated to them by the States. They could only function based on the delegated powers to appoint civil servants, declare war, take care of military affairs, etc.
The Articles of Confederation had its shortcomings, as it required more than 2/3 majority to pass a bill into law. The establishment of the United States Constitution ushered some reforms.
The courts legal ability to hear a case
Answer:
A. Fails to distinguish between violent defendants and one that no longer pose a danger to society.
C. Fails to differentiate between mental illness that are temporary or lifelong conditions.
Explanation:
M'Naghten Rule is an insanity defense used by defendant's attorney to plead defendant not guilty of crime due to mental conditions suffered during the time crime committed.
M'Naghten Rule states that a defendant will be pleaded not guilty only under conditions when it will be proved that the mental condition of defendant was not right at the time when crime was committed and that he/she was not able to discern his/her actions as right or wrong.
The criticism received to the M'Naghten rule is that it fails to distinguish between defendants who pose threat to the society and those who do not pose threat any longer. Another criticism is that it fails to distinguish between mental illness that are temporary or conditions which are lifelong.
Therefore, option A and C are correct.
