Explain with examples how the Eighth Amendment restricts the government’s authority to make something a crime.
Analyze Papachristou v. City of Jacksonville. As a public administrator, explain whether there should be a higher concern for

public safety or for individual rights. Support your position with examples or evidence.
Evaluate United States v. Agurs. Another very important public policy issue is an appreciation for the difference between

obtaining a high conviction rate or being perceived as “tough on crime,” and seeking justice. Debate your position on the death

penalty regarding whether it is used for justice or for other purposes. Support your position with examples or evidence.
In the text, it states that “the (Supreme) Court has agreed that the death penalty can be constitutionally sustained only if its

imposition is consistent with ‘evolving standards of decency’.” With so many juveniles committing heinous crimes, take a position

and debate as a public administrator on whether you think the death penalty should be allowed for juveniles? Use the e-Activity

case as a reference for discussion.
