Opposing Views On Death Penalty

The Death Penalty is such a touchy issue. It is a practice the government uses that puts a prisoner to death for the crimes they committed. It’s the biggest punishment and the last resort for really bad people. It’s also known as “Capital punishment”. It is a sentence for those who commit capital offences or capital crimes. Such illegal actions can be genocide, treason, rape, etc. In different states many people do not see the Death Penalty the way others do. Most people think politically and others think with religion. Therefore, it is one of the most popular controversies.
The Conservatives believe that the death penalty should only be taken place for those who takes the lives on innocents. According to citelight.com, “The legitimate role

The believe that punishing those who are accused of a capital offense is a risk at taking the life of an innocent because sometimes there is more evidence to make one look guilty even if they are not at fault. According to usliberals.com, “Liberals agree that one of the fundamental underpinnings of a just society is the right to due process, and the death penalty compromises that.” They argue that is violates the right to life and that teaching that killing is wrong by killing, does not make one bit of sense. They say that the death penalty does not lower the violent crimes and there is no point on continuing on with it. The liberals also like to use the 8th amendment to support their argument. It says “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted” But others don’t see the death penalty as going against the 8th amendment. Even though it’s the worst. Others see it as the best punishment for people who do really bad

First of all, I don’t think religion should be used when people talk about this. That’s the whole point of church and state right? When people start talking about their morals and how killing a life is wrong, they don’t understand that sometimes you have to kill. The Conservatives viewpoint on this is appropriate for this day and age. Our society is under much more control and people should know better. People are educated on what’s wrong and right. Unlike back then, when rules and regulations weren’t greatly enforced or such crimes like rape were not seen as crimes. My point is, it’s 2017 and people aren’t clueless. They know what they are doing and they know the difference between good and evil. So of course there should be punishments like the death penalty. Cause without that, people wouldn’t have anything to be afraid
