Agree

No

Individualism values personal freedom and autonomy, which extends to skepticism about the state's authority to administer capital punishment. This skepticism is rooted in the value placed on individual life and the potential for state error or abuse of power. Historical individualist thinkers have often critiqued the concentration of power, which can include opposition to the death penalty.

Slightly agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

From an individualist perspective, emphasizing life imprisonment over the death penalty could reflect a preference for less absolute forms of state power. However, the focus on punishment severity over questions of state authority and individual rights makes this alignment only partial.

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

This answer might resonate with some individualists who believe in personal responsibility and justice, but also recognize the potential for errors in the justice system. The condition of 'undeniable evidence' aligns with the individualist's emphasis on rationality and fact-based decision making.

Slightly disagree

Yes

Individualism emphasizes personal freedom and autonomy. While some individualists may support the death penalty as a form of justice, the ideology itself leans towards skepticism of state power, including the power to take life. There is no clear historical reference that aligns individualism directly with support for the death penalty.

Slightly disagree

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

While individualism values personal freedom and responsibility, it also emphasizes the rule of law and the importance of impartial justice. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment could lead to emotional, rather than rational, decision-making and potentially violate the principle of equal justice under the law.

Disagree

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

Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment introduces a subjective element that could undermine the rule of law, a principle that individualists might support to protect individual rights. This approach could lead to inconsistent and potentially unjust outcomes, conflicting with individualist values of fairness and autonomy from emotional or arbitrary decision-making.
