    Capital Punishment in Usa

    The topic I chose for my research paper is Capital punishment. I chose this topic because I think Capital punishment should be banned in all states.

The death penalty constitutes cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments (Bedau 2). Those who had shown no respect for life would be

  • Capital Punishment

    Capital Punishment

    Capital punishment is the ultimate sentence for a criminal. The question many Americans ask themselves today is whether the death penalty serves justice or immorality. The United States is one of the few industrialized countries in the world that continues to use capital punishment. The death penalty is morally wrong.

    Pros and Cons of Capitol Punishment

    The Internet of Encyclopedia states that “the person forfeits his rights when committing even minor crimes. Once rights are forfeited, Locke justifies punishment for two reasons: (1) from the retributive side, criminals deserve punishment, and, (2) from the utilitarian side, punishment is needed to protect our society by deterring crime through example. Thus, society may punish the criminal any way it deems necessary so to set an example for other would-be criminals. This includes taking

The death penalty is a controversial subject, especially because the U.S. is the only western democracy to retain this consequence (Scheb, 518). I personally believe that the death penalty is a valid sentence for those who deserve it. Some believe it is not constitutional, but those who face this penalty are clearly suspect of a savage offense
