The liberal side to capital punishment is to outlaw it. They believe that it is wrong and that killing a person for killing someone is awful and should be taken away. Also, they argue that innocent people may be killed for a crime they did not commit. Also, they counteract the argument that capital punishment is a deterrent because the number of crimes did not change. The Conservative argument on the other hand is that "if you commit the crime, pay the fine." Also, if someone kills someone they should be ready to take the consequences and capital punishment is an equal consequence because its a life for a life.
Once again, i am conservative with some liberal views. If a person kills someone we should protect ourselves from the damage that they can cause on us. Also, i feel like it would be more expensive to keep them locked them up than just killing them. In class it was said that court charges are expensive, but doesnt the family have to pay for that, whereas the people have to pay for the person to sit in jail through their tax money. Would you really want your money go to helping criminals who killed someone? Also, i feel like the extent to which a person may change and regret their decisions will never make up for what they have done
