Premeditation refers to the act of forming the intent to kill after some level of reflection, rather than on an impulse or in the heat of the moment. Deliberation requires the decision to kill to have been made in a calm and rational state of mind, demonstrating conscious consideration of the consequences before acting. Incorrect options fail to clarify this distinction or improperly suggest elements not essential to the legal definitions.
