Answer: B. Proximity to water sources needed for subsistence farming

Basically, Sub-Saharan Africa is a continent of small landowners and its environments are very sensitive. Even with low population densities the soil starts to degrade and future production is threatened by the use of traditional methods.

With the exception of humid zones, climatic realities result in constant crop failures because of drought or dry spells in the growing season. The composition of most African soils consists of highly weathered granite and gneiss parent material, and since the capacity of African soils to hold water is poor, rainfall infiltrates soluble nutrients.

Finally, once vegetation is removed, the erosive action of water and wind eliminates the top soil and crusts appear in the surface making it sealed against infiltration.

The Supreme Court opined that the "guided discretion" statutes would respect the defendant's basic human dignity, as required by

Ymorist [56]

Answer: True

Explanation: The Supreme Court admitted that it is haphazard to treat similar things differently and that mandatory death penalty statutes eliminated this problem, but also reckless to treat two different things the same way. In essence, to impose the same penalty on all convicted murderers, even though all defendants

are different, is just as capricious as imposing a penalty randomly.

To relieve this problem, some sentencing guidelines became necessary. This gave rise to the guided discretion statutes that set standards for juries and judges to

use when deciding whether to impose the death penalty. The Court reasoned that, guided discretion statutes struck a reasonable balance between giving the jury some discretion and allowing it to consider the defendant's background and character and the circumstances surrounding the crime.
