What two things must an individual do to satisfy intent for conspiracy?

• A. Knowingly participate and intend to help conspiracy succeed
• B. Agree without participating
• C. Wait until the plan is executed
• D. Quietly observe

Answer: (A)

Conspiracy intent is shown by two elements: knowledge of the plan and deliberate participation to advance it. If someone knows about the conspiracy and actively participates with the aim of helping it succeed, that satisfies the intent required for conspiracy liability. Merely agreeing without taking part, waiting for execution, or quietly observing wouldn’t demonstrate both awareness and active, purposeful involvement, so those options don’t meet the intent requirement.
