The agency theory says that a free act is a act caused by a agent. A agent is any person who has a knowledge or any person who does something. This theory also says that all events has causes and the cause is made by the agent, not by our inner feelings. The theory also agrees partially with (UC) Principle of Universal Casuality, since it says that every event that happens has a cause, but the events that does not have a long casual chain of history.
This relates to the experiment because in the experiement, 40 different men are given questions and a control system to ask another person in another room the questions, and if they answer it wrong, then the person is shocked, and for each wrong answer you get shocked harder. Then the people in charge start to slow down because they feel that it is wrong but the master says to continue. But really, there are no people getting shocked in the next room. This shows that the men are free to act and they can choose if they want to continue or not but there is always going to be a supervisor or a agent and they really make the choices.
