For. If most of the citizens in Texas did not want the death penalty, there would be no death penalty.
A compelling thesis statement against the death penalty could be: "The death penalty is an ineffective deterrent to crime, often applied unfairly and disproportionately, and poses a significant risk of wrongful execution, making it a morally and ethically indefensible practice." Writing against the death penalty might be easier, as there are numerous studies and arguments highlighting its flaws, including issues of justice, human rights, and the potential for mistakes in the judicial system.
That would be those who are in favour of using the death penalty for punishment of severe crimes.
That you are for capital punishment. So you would be pro death penalty or for the death penalty.
Most likely on the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
That you are for capital punishment. So you would be pro death penalty or for the death penalty.
Yes
No. There is a long and complex constitutional history on the death penalty, but quite simply, mandating the death penalty for any crime would be unconstitutional in the US. It would also be morally wrong.
Depends on what you did. I honestly think that if you raped or killed someone, the death penalty wouldn't be too harsh. i agree with this how would you like it if someone killed your brother or something you would want pay back i kno i would
The death penalty is controversial, so some people would see it as a violation of the right to life while others would not see it that way.
Heller killed his attorney father but was spared the death penalty due to the fact that his father was against it. Authorities felt it would be disreguarding the elder Heller's beliefs in asking for the death of his son.
In my opinion I think that the death penalty doesnt help at all in any way possible. Because if you are sentenced to the death penalty and you were to die in the electric chair, would it teach you anything or would you care if you were dieing because it would be instant death and you don't feel anything. It wouldn't teach you anything and for one, if you were for example, in a high security prison vault with no social contact to the outside world, would that be a better and more reasonable punishment for you would be living through what you did and would never do that again. Also, other people would learn that they would have to be put through that forever if they were caught and that would scare off people and the crimes would go down. Right now, the death penalty isn't scaring off any criminals. In fact, the crimes in America are going UP fast and gangs are breaking out. Also, the death penalty cost over 180 million just to kill 5 people with the electric chair. That money ends up being paid back by regular peoples TAX money. If we were to put the criminals in prison, we would be saving around $240 million. And that money could go to crime fields and to the FBI or CIA or Police to search and stop crimes from happening. Bear in mind that the death penalty takes away a persons life though it doesnt help anyone does it? "Killing a killer is killing" "If we are against abortion, how can we be for the death penalty?" Hope that helped!
