What are the two basic elements included in all crimes?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two basic elements included in all crimes are mental conduct (intent or knowledge) and physical conduct (the act itself). Without both of these elements, an action cannot be considered a crime. Choice A is incorrect because "corporeal conduct" is not a commonly used term in criminal law, and it does not accurately capture the required element of intent. Choice B is incorrect because "psychological conduct" is also not a commonly used term and does not accurately capture the required element of physical conduct. Choice C is incorrect because it repeats "mental conduct" instead of including physical conduct as well.
