Question

Which statement is true of the requirement of the M'Naghten rule as compared to the "substantial capacity" test? ​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "substantial capacity" test is considered to have a lesser requirement than the M'Naghten rule because it allows for a broader interpretation of a defendant's understanding of right and wrong and their ability to control their actions. The M'Naghten rule strictly requires the defendant to not know the nature and quality of the act or not know that the act was wrong due to a defect of reason from a disease of the mind.
