Capital punishment is the most severe form of corporal
punishment as it requires law enforcement officers to kill the
offender. Today, while more than half of the countries in the
world have abolished the death penalty in law or practice, the
United States continues to use the death penalty in all but 13
states. Many believe that the death penalty is unconstitutional,
because it violates the eighth amendment, which protects citizens
from "cruel and unusual punishment."
