Bill: HS-5: No Death Penalty Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hutori Socialists
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 4499
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, I seek to present the No Death Penalty Act on behalf of the Hutori Socialists. In a contemporary, advanced nation such as ours, it comes as a shock that we *still* have the death penalty. The death penalty is dangerous and gives the state the god-like power to determine life and death. This is an incredible overreach of power and so, therefore, we propose that it be abolished and banned in its entirety. - Kenneth Alden (HS-AD) Hutori Socialists spokesperson for Justice |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy with respect to the death penalty.
Old value:: The death penalty is not applied, except for terrorism, treason and crimes against mankind.
Current: The death penalty is applied for capital crimes.
Proposed: The death penalty is illegal and is never to be applied.
