Which of the meaning given for the maxim "Actus me invite factus non est mens actus" is correct ?
Answer: B
The maxim means that an act done by me against my will is not my act.
Actus me invito factus non est meus actus says that an act done against one's will is not one's own act. It applies to an act done under physical compulsion, as when one is pushed.
The first option mixes the maxim with the rule on mens rea. The third is wider than the maxim, because it speaks of any compulsion and of liability, but the maxim is about an act done against the will. So the correct meaning is the second option.
