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.
Copying my answer from this question from another student who asked the same one:
Social Darwinism is the belief that people and business are subject to the same laws of nature and natural selection. This has been used by business leaders, both in the Gilded Age and today, to create a belief that the strongest businesses are the ones that survive because they survive the competitive process of natural selection.
So, massive oil companies and railroad companies (and tech companies and banks today) used social darwinism to explain their rise to almost monopoly status as a "natural" thing that was accomplished merely using the laws of nature.

Self-serving bias
Explanation:
Self-serving bias: In psychology, the term "self-serving bias" is defined as a person's propensity or proclivity to "attribute" any of the positive situations or events to his or her self or character and therefore "attribute" any of the negative situations or events to some external factors.
In social psychology, self-serving bias is generally referred to as one of the types of cognitive bias.
In the question above, Lori is using "self-serving bias".
