​The answer is: Palko’s conviction and execution should be upheld

Palko was a robber who shot two polices during his act of robbery. He was initially charged with first-degree murder (which is punishable by death sentence) but the prosecutor fail to obtain enough evidence, so palko was chraged with lesser punishment for second degree murder.

The Supreme Court's main decision Palko v. Connecticut was that Palko's conviction and execution should be upheld.

Palko v. Connecticut was a supreme court case in which the court ruled that provisions of the federal double jeopardy of the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution cannot be applied to the states. The court ruling also laid the foundation for the notion that some freedoms as contained in the bill of rights appeared more important than others.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Frank Palka was charged with first-degree murder but sentenced to life imprisonment. He was sentenced to life imprisonment based on a lesser offense of second-degree murder. However, the case was appealed by prosecutors under the Connecticut law and Palka was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to death.

Palka appealed the court judgment and argued that he was protected under the Fifth Amendment against double jeopardy, which he argued that the law was also applied to the state government.

However, in the Supreme Court decision delivered by Justice Benjamin Cardozo, the court ruled that the provisions of the federal jeopardy Fifth Amendment did not apply to states and therefore the decision of the lower court, which sentenced Palka to death, was upheld.

What did Thomas Edison do to help push America forward into the industrial age
Tems11 [23]

The technological and industrial history of the United States describes the United States' emergence as one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. The availability of land and literate labor, the absence of a landed aristocracy, the prestige of entrepreneurship, the diversity of climate and a large easily accessed upscale and literate free market all contributed to America's rapid industrialization. The availability of capital, development by the free market of navigable rivers, and coastal waterways, and the abundance of natural resources facilitated the cheap extraction of energy all contributed to America's rapid industrialization. Fast transport by the very large railroad built in the mid-19th century, and the Interstate Highway System built in the late 20th century, enlarged the markets and reduced shipping and production costs. The legal system facilitated business operations and guaranteed contracts. Cut off from Europe by the embargo and the British blockade in the War of 1812 (1807–15), entrepreneurs opened factories in the Northeast that set the stage for rapid industrialization modeled on British innovations.

From its emergence as an independent nation, the United States has encouraged science and innovation. As a result, the United States has been the birthplace of 161 of Britannica's 321 Greatest Inventions, including items such as the airplane, internet, microchip, laser, cellphone, refrigerator, email, microwave, personal computer, Liquid-crystal display and light-emitting diode technology, air conditioning, assembly line, supermarket, bar code, automated teller machine, and many more.
