Brenna George · Answer 1

a. Rebekah is liable even though she had no illegal intent

Explanation:

Because the law takes into account the fact instead of the reasons, the illegal fact is over any reasons that took place, also, it is possible to support the previous affirmation through the following "Ignorantia Juris non excusat" from the latin, ignorance doesn't exempt compliance with the law.

it is a principle of the law that indicates ignorance or omission of the law is not an excuse when the law has been enacted, it must be known for all.
