Federalism

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While federalism does not inherently support or oppose the death penalty, this answer aligns with the federalist principle of allowing states to make their own decisions on specific policy issues. By supporting the death penalty only in cases with undeniable evidence, this answer could be seen as a compromise that allows states to maintain their own policies on the death penalty.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

This answer is somewhat at odds with the federalist principle of dividing power between the central and state governments, as it suggests that the victim's family should have the authority to decide the punishment. This could potentially undermine the authority of state governments to make decisions on criminal justice policy. However, the score is not strongly negative, as federalism does not inherently take a stance on the death penalty itself.
