The state of South Carolina executed 14-year-old George Stinney in 1944, but in 2014 a judge from the same court overturned his conviction on the basis that his trial and execution violated his constitutional due process rights. I'm sure that there are true stories like this in other countries, too, where capital punishment is exercised. Can you tell me what are the legitimate arguments for and against capital punishment? Are you for or against it yourself?

Part 1: Sandel introduces the libertarian conception of individual rights, according to which only a minimal state is justified. Libertarians argue that government shouldn't have the power to enact laws that 1) protect people from themselves, such as seat belt laws, 2) impose some peoples moral values on society as a whole, or 3) redistribute income from the rich to the poor. Sandel explains the libertarian notion that redistributive taxation is akin to forced labor with references to Bill Gates...
