Topic: The topic of this paper is the Death Penalty, which is no small topic in the way of academic papers.
Your first task is to provide a quick summary of the states as a whole on where they stand on the death penalty and then the federal government specifically? Then you should discuss the state you are from (Oklahoma) or have lived in most and give a brief history of that state’s history regarding the death penalty and its current death penalty state. If you are not from the states, you should account for how the U.S. federal government has explicitly treated the death penalty and its history.
Lastly, has public opinion on the death penalty shifted or remained the same in the last 20 years, and if so, why? I DON’T want your personal OPINIONS; what does research tell us?
