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.
no
If the death penalty is right depends on each person's interpretation of right and wrong and on their individual set of values and morals. After all, in certain states, the death penalty is used and in other it is banned.
a right of way violation is when you have a stop sign and pull into on-coming traffic when the lane is not clear to enter.
Currently, thirty two states enforce the death penalty. In addition, there are eighteen states that have abolished the death penalty.
This is a highly debated topic nowadays and has been for a while. Is the death penalty too harsh? Is the death penalty the right punishment? In some cases, say a serial murderer, the death penalty is justified because they took or ruined multiple lives and is especially applicable if they feel no remorse. Honestly, there isn't exactly a right or wrong answer to the question of using the death penalty. Situations vary and people's minds also change.
Yes. 90 days if you wave your right to a hearing.
Roman Catholics believe we do not have the right to take away one's life.
No, otherwise the death penalty would have been deemed unconstitutional.
No i do not believe so. However I do think that right after the stamp tax on it was made, when they first went to outlaw it someone what thrown in prison for over 50 years. wile possessing only a small amount.AnswerNo. The death penalty is only allowable for certain (capital) offenses. Currently, murder is the only crime for which states are actively using the death penalty as a punishment, although there has been some consideration given to giving the death penalty for rape.In the past, the death penalty was more common, and used for more crimes. Public hangings and lynchings were common through the civil war. However, marijuana was not illegal until long after the "civilization" of the death penalty.
The importance is that the death of the convicted person could be wrong, and affects the court by making sure that they have the right person.Another View: (in the US) The majority of the citizens of 39 jurisdictions apparently are not in agreement with the first contributor.Defendants who receive the death penalty are not recidivists - they never re-offend.
Most certainly. Murder is the killing of a human being by a human being. I am excluding war in this answer. Premeditated murder is one that is planned beforehand with the sole purpose of ending another's life.Murder is indeed a violation of human naturalrights, as said by John Locke, "Life (of which murder is violating by taking away that life), liberty, and land."Murder is also a violation of human legal rights, as murder is against the law and is almost always condemned to very high sentences such as 25-life or in extreme cases the death penalty.
I would be worried if it were not. We do need to think long and hard about murdering a human being. That is what the death penalty is, murder. It should never be taken lightly, and like the subject of abortion, there seems to be no right or wrong, just each person's 'inner voice' telling them what is the right thing for the individual. There does seem to be that at times the death penalty is the only fit punishment, depending on the particular crime. It has nothing to do with revenge, but with justice. There are cases that demand the 'ultimate price'. I see a day when all capital murder cases may defere the death penalty if not backed by DNA evidence. But we're not there yet. A Point missed In no country nor under any law is the death penalty classed as murder. Murder is killing someone illegally. After due process if someone is put to death it is an execution, carried out legally.
