    Capital Punishment, A Capital NO Capital punishment has a long and gruesome history, regrettably that history is not all in the past. Capital punishment, the practice of putting someone to death as punishment for a crime, is still exercised within fifty-eight countries and thirty-one American states. Although today’s methods of government sanctioned executions are more humane and less violent than our days past; when to be put to death meant to be hanged, flayed, burned alive or worse, it should still be considered by all, as a grave injustice to humanity. If killing is so wrong that it is considered one of the worst crimes a person could commit, why should the government be able to do exactly that.…

    In 1972, the Supreme Court place a ban on the death penalty all fifty states. The court recognized that the system allowed for cruel and unusual punishment, and ruled that until the system was amended, there would be no executions in the United States. Even though the death penalty has since been reinstated in many states, the court created criteria to define "cruel and unusual punishment". It would be defined as "degrading to human dignity", "arbitrary", "rejected throughout society", and "unnecessary" (Furman)(Cruel). Capital punishment fits this criteria and should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.…
