Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deliberateness is a requirement of legal responsibility, meaning that a person must have intended to engage in a particular action or behavior in order to be held responsible for it. Age, mental impairment, and coercion may all affect a person's ability to deliberate, but they do not change the fact that deliberate intent is necessary for legal responsibility.
