III. Arguing for capital punishment, the Clark County, Indiana Prosecuting Attorney writes that "...there are some defendants who have earned the ultimate punishment our society has to offer by committing murder with aggravating circumstances present. I believe life is sacred. It cheapens the life of an innocent murder victim to say that society has no right to keep the murderer from ever killing again. In my view, society has not only the right, but the duty to act in self defense to protect the innocent."
And Catholic Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington, writes "...the death penalty diminishes all of us, increases disrespect for human life, and offers the tragic illusion that we can teach that killing is wrong by killing."
IV. P: Premeditated and planned taking of a human life by a government in response to a crime committed by that legally convicted person is the definition of Capital Punishment . It also dubbed “the death penalty”.
P: Supporters and protesters of the death penalty in the U.S. is sharply divide equally.
of rights is the opinion of the Amnesty International.
P: The Death penalty is the premeditated and cold blooded killing of a human and a denial
P: This cruel and inhuman punishment violates the right to life.
C: Society has the duty and right to protect t he innocent.
V. This argument did not have enough evidence to support the opinion to keep capital punishment in effect. The fallacy in this argument would be begging the question . Begging the question fallacy is an informal fallacy that occurs when the arguer creates the illusion that inadequate premises provide adequate support for the conclusion by leaving out a key premise, by restating the conclusion as a premise, or by reasoning in a circle. Also the appeal to the people is committed in this argument. This fallacy is an informal fallacy that occurs when an arguer plays on certain psychological needs for the purpose of getting the reader or listener to accept a conclusion.
