The death penalty has been brought up over the years and has been turned down a lot. If each state brought the death penalty back, then there would be fair justice for everyone that has been murdered. The death penalty also would stop many people from committing murder.

In the case of welfare, the states have been provided a means for independence from federal dictation through the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996.
