Problem in HTML checkbox size

I have a problem with the size of my checkboxes. I isolated ul with a class, so that this element did not take any characteristic of the other uls for which I had already defined a style. Would anyone know why checkboxes are getting different sizes? And how I could solve this. Follow the page print and code for vcs to visualize the problem:

body {
    display: flex;
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}




section#principal {
    width: 100%;
}

section#principal .modulo .container {
    height: ;
    padding: 20px;
}

section#principal .modulo .container .canvas {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;
    border-radius: 4px;
    padding: 20px;
}

form ul {
    padding: 0; margin: 0;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}

form li {
    list-style: none;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
}

form h2 {
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #161616;
    padding: 0; margin: 0;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.confirmacoes li {
    font-size: 14px;
    display: flex;
    width: 400px;
}

.confirmacoes input {
    width: 20px;
    height: 20px;
    margin-right: 5px;
}

To align the checkbox with the label. It’s wrong?

The checkbox is varying in size according to the size of the text. If you sufficiently increase the text of the first checkbox, it is smaller than the second.

This is because of display: flex in your CSS to .confirmacoes li. If you want to keep this, my suggestion is to use min-width and min-height in your CSS:

.confirmacoes input {
    min-width: 20px;
    min-height: 20px;
    margin-right: 5px;
}

This way the browser understands that it should not use less than 20px for the width and height of the checkbox, even with the display: flex in the element li which contains the checkbox.
