The United States has not always had the death penalty. In 1972 the United States Supreme Court called for a moratorium on the death penalty with the case of Furman v. Georgia and brought it back in 1976 with the case of Gregg v. Georgia.
Gregg v Georgia, in 1976, said that the death penalty could be used with guided discretion. Four years earlier, in Furman v Georgia, it was determined that the death penalty was being given in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and that there needed to be more consistency, which started the four-year moratorium.
