Because that is the official position of the organisation, the moral and ethical standpoint on which, in fact, the entire operation is built upon, the founding and defining aspect.
Of course not. The US has always prohibited "cruel and unusual punishment".
A capital letter always begins a sentence. A capital city refers to a seat of government. Do you support capital punishment?
It was always there since its inception aside from a short break while the justice system was trying to work out whether they were advanced human beings or not.
A capital crime is quite simply, one that can be punished by death- hence capital punishment. For many years New York State had a mandatory law that the deliberate murder of a police officer was a capital crime- no questions asked. For somewhat unstated motives, former New York Governor Hugh Carey was able to strike down this measure, which provoked the literary pun that he had become ( a Saving Grace to killers of Cops!) Murder is nearly always held as a capital crime- but there are discretionary angles for judges.
Yes, I is always capital.

No.
Puritanism was a movement rather than a separate religion who believed that The Reformation of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries did not go far enough in ridding England and Europe of the corruption stemming from the Roman Catholic Church. Their view of many crimes including witchcraft, murder and treason took a very hard line. These crimes were punishable by death.
spank them. punishment should always be that! yummy
No
because life imprisonment dont always change the murderers life and most of them do get released and they probably dont really learn their lesson and it doesnt feel safe for a killer to be alive still and it doesnt make other people who suffered it their love ones murders feel better so judges created capital punishment to make things less worse
There is almost a contradiction in terms, in that deciding to kill another human would almost always mean that the man (or woman) is not good. A good man can kill in self defence, if no other option is available. A good man can kill as part of his duty in a just war. Some say that a good man can order or carry out capital punishment, but most advanced societies have banned capital punishment as immoral and unjustified.
