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

the 8th Amendment, and prevent jury nullification-the practice of a jury's refusal to convict guilty defendants to avoid imposing unjust death sentences.

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.

Mixed-market economies have more private property, while command economies have more public property.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Streets and roads

Explanation:

The USA economy is a mixed market economy. It blends elements from the market economy with elements from planned economies.

Private ownership is prioritized ( free market economy)  but the government has control over some public services such as healthcare (to an extend), physical infrastructure (the road system), education, national defense, the postal system, and some public lands.

The idea behind public ownership of these services is that they are better performed by the public than private enterprise.

The roads in the USA and their infrastructure are funded by taxes (especially the gas one), tolls, and user fees.
