Answer:

In the case of Parsons v. State, 1887, the Irresistible Impulse Test was first introduced.

Explanation:

The Court of Alabama stated that, although it would have been possible that the defendant had right from wrong, that he had "dismissed the power of choice between right and wrong" and that, "at a time when his free organization was destroyed," and that therefore, the alleged crime was so closely related, in relation to cause and effect, to such a mental disease that it has been the result of.

I hope this was understood very well, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time. ☺️
