Answer 1

I just took the test and its A It puts pressure on the judge to make the decision that is morally right. When you'r reading this he even state's "if they do die on the scaffold the details of this will be spread over the world. Every newspaper in the United States will carry a full account. Every newspaper of Chicago will be filled with the gruesome details. It will enter every home and every family Will it make men better or make men worse?…Would it harden the heart of man or would it soften it? How many men would be colder and crueler for it?" even by reading this he is putting pressure on the judge hope that helped. :3 and hope you do good on your test!!!
