convicted of a crime.? This has been a topic of debate for many years.

?Why do we kill people to prove killing people is wrong??

The 1st argument I have against capital punishment is that it?s

unconstitutional. Every person has an equal right to ?life, liberty, and the

pursuit of happiness.? This is a quote from American Civil Liberty Union

National Office, ?Capital punishment is a barbaric remnant of an uncivilized

society. It is immoral in principle, and unfair and discriminatory in practice.?

Does the government have the right to kill? Maybe in self defense, like a

policeman firing on a armed and dangerous criminal. Suppose we apply the

same standards to the government that we have for civilians. A civilian has

the right to shoot at an intruder as he is entering his home but if the civilian

catches the intruder and has him under his control, the shooting him would

be considered murder. That?s what capital punishment is...simple murder.

Against: I agree that capital punishment is a relic of barbarism but as murder

sentence to die. The criminal has brought the punishment upon himself, they

and unusual. John Locke went as far to say that murder is not intrinsically

until we finally remove this barbaric practice from our nation.

they defend this opinion in the case of John Evans who was executed by

22,520 murders committed and 1 execution performed. The absence of

is logical that those who can afford the best lawyers will fare the best in court
