Many of you seem suspicious of my intentions with this question. I am writing a persuasive essay in English regarding the death penalty being unjust because it is unlawful.

Your additional information states the death penalty is "unjust because it is unlawful". That is a false argument for ANY issue. By that logic, if we passed a law prohibiting victims of crime from suing for damages, it would be 'unjust' to award them damages. I believe we all agree that in not the case.

Murder is regulated and legislated by the 50 state govts. It isn't a federal offense, except under certain circumstances.

Murder, and homicide, are a couple of the many. Besides why would you want to take someone's life away?
