Hanging isn't used in some states considering that some think that it is a cruel and unusual punishment.
PA only uses the Lethal Injection.
While others may use Hanging, Gas Chamber, Lethal Injection, Or Fire Squads.
Little do they know that one person on the Fire Squad has a blank charge causing the sound to be made but nothing coming out of it.
Hope this helped.
In the U.S lethal injection. is the most commonly current form of capital punishment. Otherwise, there probably is no "most common" form. Hanging in the past has certainly taken precedent. As well as beheading in France via the guillotine, or by sword or axe in other parts of the world. For a time, the electric chair and gas chamber were popular in the US.

Common methods of punishment in medieval times included hanging, beheading, and flogging. Boiling oil was also used as a form of punishment, where the victim would be submerged in boiling oil. These methods were used to administer justice by serving as deterrents for crime and as a way to publicly display consequences for wrongdoing.

Pensylvania was the first state to do it legally
The practice of hanging as a method of execution dates back to ancient times, with evidence suggesting it was used by various cultures, including the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In medieval Europe, hanging became a common form of capital punishment, particularly for crimes such as theft and murder. The exact date of the first recorded hanging is difficult to pinpoint, but it has been a part of legal systems for centuries.
Hanging was abolished in many countries because it was seen as a cruel and inhumane form of punishment that violated human rights. It was also argued that there was a risk of executing innocent individuals, and that there were more humane and effective alternatives available.
