Argue for or against the death penalty. Do you think the threat of the death penalty is successful or unsuccessful in discouraging people from committing murder? Why or why not? Do you think the death penalty is an acceptable punishment or that it is unconstitutional?

Answer: I wrote this just now. Hope it helps!

I don't agree with the death penalty for most cases. I only agree with the death penalty for cases in which there are multiple convictions, such as someone who murdered 20 people, or someone who caused a terrorist attack that killed 10 people. However, for cases such as someone who murdered one person, I do not agree with the death penalty, because there are cases where people are wrongfully convicted, but those are much rarer in instances of multiple convictions.

I think the threat of death penalty is not successful in discouraging people from committing murder, because we have the death penalty now and people commit murder at a very high rate. What we need is more mental health resources so people with disorders and mental health issues can get proper help BEFORE committing a horrible crime. I think the death penalty is only constitutional if the criminal is convicted with killing multiple people on purpose, such as a mass shooting, terrorist attack, bombing, or something of that measure.

I hope this helps! :) Have a good day, I have to go so this is all I can answer for now, but good luck on your assignment.
