QUOTE FROM THE CASE:

"Does he take a democratic approach and agree with the majority of his constituents that support Capital Punishment, or does he vote according to his conscience and vote against it?"

RESPONSE:

This largely depends on the law and order situation of the country. A country where murder and other major crimes have overflown, thinking in favor of introducing Capital Punishment will be a step of positive strategy. The aim will not be to simply give capital punishment, but to establish an environment of "keen eye" over capital crimes by introducing the capital punishment hoping that the people with evil intention hold themselves back for fear of capital penalty.

However, in a country with normal law and order situation, there seems to be no need to adopt such a strategy.

Hence, before looking at the 70% emotional voters, the overall law and order situation of that country (not just a wave of criminal acts) needs to be keenly and deeply analyzed.

Our "Brian" will have sufficient reasoning for whether to vote for or against Capital Punishment.

Even before casting his individual vote, he needs guts to talk to voters (the public), share reasoning, listen to their reasoning and generate substance for whatever decision he is going to take; for or against.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

QUESTION 1. Who can help Brian with his decision and how can they help?

Brian can seek help from criminal advocates, scholars on the subject of capital punishment, other members of his party, general public AFTER SHARING WHAT HIS CONSCIENCE SAYS and advisers. They will all guide Brian according to their own approaches and Brian will collect the honest opinions regardless of how he thinks and feels about the issue.

These people can also help Brian by accompanying him during public meetings and some press conferences before he comes up with the decision of his vote.

QUESTION 2. Who will be affected by the decision?

The following people will be affected:

a. Brian himself as he is trying to make his voice heard and a small step taken wrongly may push him off the ladder.

b. Criminals or potential criminals who have the plans of capital crimes in their minds for the future.

c. The overall law and order situation of the country and its norms and feelings towards humanity.

d. The 70% voters for capital punishment (no matter whether they are emotional or rational)

e. The 30% voters against capital punishment (no matter whether they are emotional or rational)

f. Indirectly, though, but also the victims of capital crimes that have recently taken place.

QUESTION 3. What will be the consequences of voting for capital punishment or against capital punishment?

CONSEQUENCES OF VOTING AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:

a. With a well though out strategy, Brian is at least not going to lose his 70% votes. However, a small mistake may make him lose his 70% votes.

b. Brian will have a clear conscience, no matter if he is allowed to stay in politics or kicked away.

c. Angry public even from other political parties.

d. A slight chance of the development of awareness and rational thought among people.

CONSEQUENCES OF VOTING FOR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT:

a. Happy 70% voters and Brian's stronger (yet, probably, hollow) position as a leader.

b. Dying hope of the criminals who had pledged in their hearts that once given a second chance, they would give up criminal life.

QUESTION 4. What might be the effects for the individual or community involved in this issue?

As said above, if properly worked out, the strategy will enable the involved people to think more rationally than emotionally. Otherwise, there can be a wave of rage and discomfort among people. Media will make its undue way into the issue. Loss of confidence and lack of communication opportunities may raise head and hence increase the distance between the party and the voters. But this all is more likely if the strategy is not well thought out, communicated, discussed and rationalized.

Hope this helped

Cheers

fairly some motives to justify abolishing capital punishment(no longer unavoidably so as of importance): a million) The appeals that persist with a dying sentence value extra suitable than existence imprisonment. Paying public legal specialists expenditures taxpayers alot of money. 2) Minorities are overrepresented interior the persons that are positioned to dying. some argue that this means racism on the area of jurors or the justice equipment as an entire. 3) Ever heard the quote, "a look ahead to a watch makes the full international blind." this means that if truthfully everyone seems to be so fixated on revenge they could't understand the immorality of violence or revenge itself. 4) What if the guy who's positioned to dying is harmless? the countless people on dying row commited crimes formerly DNA data grow to be renowned in forensic examine. 5) Capital punishment of course would not deter violent crime. inspite of capital punishment, the U. S. has the countless optimal expenditures of violent crime. 6) additionally what approximately persons with delinquent character disease aka sociopathy? a huge proportion of inmates have this disease, meaning that they haven't any regard for the regulation or the aptitude consequences of their movements. Many persons that commit violent crimes act on impulse. they suspect that they gained't get caught by fact they could outsmart the police. desire this helps. sturdy luck with the paper.

He should vote with both his conscience and with his constituents and support the death penalty.

Both morally and factually the ledger weighs in favor of capital punishment.

The Death Penalty: Justice & Saving More Innocents

Dudley Sharp

The death penalty has a foundation in justice and it spares more innocent lives.

Anti death penalty arguments are either false or the pro death penalty arguments are stronger.

The majority populations of all countries, likely, support the death penalty for some crimes (1).

Why? Justice.

OF COURSE THE DEATH PENALTY DETERS: A review of the debate

http://prodpinnc.blogspot.com/2013/03/of-course-death-penalty-deters.html

MURDERERS MUCH PREFER LIFE OVER EXECUTION

99.7% of murderers tell us "Give me life, not execution"

http://prodpinnc.blogspot.com/2012/11/life-much-preferred-over-execution.html

MORAL FOUNDATIONS: DEATH PENALTY

1) Immanuel Kant: "If an offender has committed murder, he must die. In this case, no possible substitute can satisfy justice. For there is no parallel between death and even the most miserable life, so that there is no equality of crime and retribution unless the perpetrator is judicially put to death.". "A society that is not willing to demand a life of somebody who has taken somebody else's life is simply immoral."

2) Pope Pius XII; "When it is a question of the execution of a man condemned to death it is then reserved to the public power to deprive the condemned of the benefit of life, in expiation of his fault, when already, by his fault, he has dispossessed himself of the right to live." 9/14/52.

3) John Murray: "Nothing shows the moral bankruptcy of a people or of a generation more than disregard for the sanctity of human life." "... it is this same atrophy of moral fiber that appears in the plea for the abolition of the death penalty." "It is the sanctity of life that validates the death penalty for the crime of murder. It is the sense of this sanctity that constrains the demand for the infliction of this penalty. The deeper our regard for life the firmer will be our hold upon the penal sanction which the violation of that sanctity merit." (Page 122 of Principles of Conduct).

4) John Locke: "A criminal who, having renounced reason... hath, by the unjust violence and slaughter he hath committed upon one, declared war against all mankind, and therefore may be destroyed as a lion or tyger, one of those wild savage beasts with whom men can have no society nor security." And upon this is grounded the great law of Nature, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." Second Treatise of Civil Government.

5) Jean-Jacques Rousseau: "In killing the criminal, we destroy not so much a citizen as an enemy. The trial and judgments are proofs that he has broken the Social Contract, and so is no longer a member of the State." (The Social Contract).

6) Saint (& Pope) Pius V: "The just use of (executions), far from involving the crime of murder, is an act of paramount obedience to this (Fifth) Commandment which prohibits murder." "The Roman Catechism of the Council of Trent" (1566).
