Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The American Law Institute guidelines, also known as the Model Penal Code, replaced the Durham rule in many jurisdictions in 1972. The Model Penal Code provided a more comprehensive set of guidelines for determining criminal responsibility, including consideration of both cognitive and volitional aspects of behavior. The M'Naghten rule is a different standard for determining insanity used in some jurisdictions but is not relevant to the question of replacing the Durham rule. The social responsibility principle and Jones rule are not widely recognized legal standards.
