Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The death penalty, capital punishment or execution consists in causing the death of a convicted person by the State, as punishment for committing a crime established in the legislation. The crimes for which this penalty can be applied are often called capital crimes.

The execution of criminals and political dissidents has been used by many societies throughout history, both to punish crime and to suppress political dissent.
