Historically, hanging was used as a punishment for a range of serious crimes, often referred to as capital offenses. These included murder, treason, robbery, rape, and certain forms of arson. The specific crimes warranting the death penalty varied significantly by jurisdiction and time period, reflecting societal norms and legal standards. Today, hanging is still practiced in a few countries, primarily for severe offenses like murder and terrorism.

In 1594, punishments varied widely based on the crime and the region, with methods often reflecting harsh societal norms.

Citizens who committed serious crimes might have their franchisement revoked, be made into slaves and then sent to the arenas or combat schools. Such crimes would include harsher offences like rape or murder, or crimes against the state (treason). Slaves could be committed to the arenas for only specific crimes, most likely similar to the above and for things such as stealing - assaulting a citizen or otherwise harming one would be almost certainly a direct death sentence, potentially carried out by putting them against wild animals unarmed.
Crimes in the Middle Ages varied widely, often reflecting the social and economic conditions of the time. Common offenses included theft, murder, and assault, but more severe crimes like treason and heresy could lead to harsh punishments, including execution. The legal system was often influenced by local customs and the authority of feudal lords, with trials sometimes involving brutal methods such as trial by ordeal. Justice was frequently arbitrary, and social status played a significant role in determining the severity of punishment.

(It should be noted that this does not refer to a policy that one political party opposes; words like "treason" and "betrayal" are thrown around a lot in political rhetoric, but the Founding Fathers seem to refer to specific acts of corruption, or perhaps to selling out one's country the way a spy does.)
