Answer:
The death penalty is legal in my state, Pennsylvania, and I am for the death penalty.
Explanation:
With the way our current prison system is set up (to punish rather than to help or rehabilitate) I believe it is better to end the lives of murderers rather than to spend our tax dollars to keep them fed and clothed for the rest of their lives. However if our prison system was meant to rehabilitate rather than to punish I would be against the death penalty although I do believe there are some people beyond saving. I disagree with certain applications for the death penalty such as treason and espionage instead I believe that sexual assault should replace those, large scale drug trafficking is also on the list which I disagree with but most large scale drug traffickers are responsible for countless murders anyways.

Which of the following adjectives BEST describes an effectual, and true
Constitutional Government.
Answer:
Constitutionalism is a political movement and philosophy that states that the ruling power is bound to respect certain rights of its subjects. According to modern constitutionalism, the form of government must be based on a constitution.
Constitutionalism includes both the empowerment and the limitation of power, both granting power and specifying its scope and purpose. Constitutionalism is considered to promote the principles of the rule of law, the principle of predictability, and to prevent arbitrary administration of justice. According to constitutionalism, laws and judgments in countries with common law can be declared invalid because they are contrary to the constitution if it is done in accordance with the principle of transparency, usually by a constitutional court or a court with similar jurisdiction.
