Title: Capital Punishment: Justice To The Victims And Their Families
Details: Words: 369, Pages: 2... all life.
Many would argue that this so-called "eye for an eye" approach is
unconstitutional, citing the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Th
8th Amendment states "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive
fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." This was
meant to limit the severity of punishment imposed on an offender by judge
or jury, but instead it creates a paradox with its usage of the words
'cruel' and 'punishment.' Webster's dictionary defines cruel as "causing,
or of a kind to cause pain, distress, etc." Using this definition, one has
to wonder how our justice system is suppose to punish criminals at all.
Wouldn't e ...

Title: Capital Punishment
Details: Words: 527, Pages: 2... The United States doesn't like the death penalty because they say
its not a valid purpose of punishment. The states say a punishment that
conflicts harm can hardly be good for us. The states don't want to kill a
man who is already imprisoned. They say he's already being punished.
However the states don't keep all murders in jail forever. Some
of these criminals will get out and will probably start all over again. Its
not that they have to kill, but they have a problem. Problem or no problem
the states just can't let a killer get away with it. These criminals are
taking an innocent persons life and they get to live. They also get a place
to live, free ...

Title: Euthanasia

In addition, if a person causes the death of another, the consent of the deceased does not provide the person who caused the death a defense to criminal responsibility.

Although pornography and obscenity are technically not protected by the First Amendment, it becomes a question of, how far will the government go? When do they stop censoring, and how do they decide what is obscene? "The equation is simple: Those who have power get to censor, and those who lack power get silenced. If you find yourself in a position to demand and
