Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The other three choices (Duress, Insanity, and Intoxication) are all considered excuse defenses, which seek to mitigate or excuse criminal liability by arguing that the defendant lacked the necessary intent or agency to commit the crime due to external factors. Self-defense, on the other hand, is considered a justification defense, which argues that the defendant's actions were not criminal because they were necessary to protect themselves or others from harm.
