The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) was enacted in 1996 in response to terrorism and violent crime, particularly after the Oklahoma City bombing. It aimed to streamline the death penalty process and enhance measures against terrorism, including stricter rules for habeas corpus petitions and the expedited execution of death penalty cases. The act also provided funding for state and local anti-terrorism efforts while establishing new crimes and penalties related to terrorism. Overall, AEDPA reflects a significant shift in U.S. legal and penal policy during the 1990s.
