Answer 1

The question asks which statements are correct concerning the Mental Capacity Act. This British legislation, passed into law in 2005 and implemented across all of England and Wales in 2007, laid down specifics regarding decision-making power for persons incapable of making decisions due to mental capacity challenges. It deals significantly with both mundane daily choices and major, life-altering decisions, allowing preparedness for potential lack of mental capacity in upcoming periods. On the flip side, the Act does not authorize any form of confinement or undue restriction on individual liberties, such as incarcerating individuals in their rooms against their will.
