Hello everyone I am doing my Theology Research Paper and i needed a
favor answer a couple questions for me please. Thanks so much Hira

1. Would you allow the death penalty? Yes or No.

1. yes

2. If you answered yes read these two amendments and tell me do you
believe they are wrong? Yes or No and Why?

2. I believe the first one is right because it is after a due process of the law so if everything is done within the extent of the law, in the perfect scenario, the people who are wrongfully accused because practically diminutive. In the other amendment, cruel and unusual punishment is not defined and therefore leaves a major threat possible because of the possibility of misinterpretation which could lead further into abuse of the law.

The fourteenth amendment states that:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the
State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


The eighth amendment states that:
“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed,
nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”

3. If you answered Yes is there any reason why you think this way?

3. I think this way because I feel that humans tend to abuse weaknesses therefore creating scenarios that repeat the tragedies that existed in our past in an endless cycle. For example, the fact, that cruel and unusual punishment is not defined, leaves death sentencing to be considered the cruelest legally admissible punishment. But many would consider that the crueler punishment would be to allow the convict to carry a long sentence where he most likely will have to possibly submit to a life of humiliation (through the high percentages of inmate rape) or of fighting (inmate assault).

4. If you were told "If anyone sheds the blood of man, by man shall his
blood be shed; For in the image of God has man been made." What do you
think this means and would change your mind for having the death
penalty then?

4. The quote just shows even more support for the death penalty and I feel that the death penalty should remain where it's at right now.
