In this article we have tried using legal sources and standards, while explaining the concept of the meaning of "freedom of choice", is distinguished it from other similar concepts and Unlike most concepts, the role of freewill and the decline in the wavering elements of crime be examined. The nature of freewill is an important issue that has received less attention in legal publications. Although the debate about the freewill and its role in human responsibility is as old as human life and to have multiple dimensions, in various sciences, including philosophy, theology, psychology, ethics and law is discussed.
