Justice Kennedy refers to "scientific and social" studies. To what extent do you think such information should inform the "stand

ards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society" and be relevant to a determination of whether the death penalty should apply? Why?
History
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer and Explanation:

Judge Kennedy's position on the death penalty for offenders under the age of 18 shows a pattern of decency that promotes the progress of society because it allows these young people to be judged by their mental abilities that are more fragile than the mental abilities of an adult. This positioning shows that the young man's mind is still in formation and that is why participation in a heinous crime is not enough to promote this young person to the death penalty. This is relevant because it shows that the death penalty is something extreme and should be considered taking into account the individual's biological and mental constitution.

Agency: Who were the primary actors in Newark's rapid
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Seth Boyden and the ideas of manufacturing leather, railroads, and the first plastic.

Explanation:

Newark's rapid growth began in the early 19th century, much of it due to a Massachusetts transplant named Seth Boyden. Boyden came to Newark in 1815, and immediately began a torrent of improvements to leather manufacture, culminating in the process for making patent leather. Boyden's genius led to Newark's manufacturing nearly 90% of the nation's leather by 1870, bringing in $8.6 million in revenue to the city in that year alone. In 1824, Boyden, bored with leather, found a way to produce malleable iron. Newark also prospered by the construction of the Morris Canal in 1831. The canal connected Newark with the New Jersey hinterland, at that time a major iron and farm area. Railroads arrived in 1834 and 1835. A flourishing shipping business resulted, and Newark became the area's industrial center. By 1826, Newark's population stood at 8,017, ten times their 1776 number. The middle 19th century saw continued growth and diversification of Newark's industrial base. The first commercially successful plastic — Celluloid — was produced in a factory on Mechanic Street by John Wesley Hyatt. Hyatt's Celluloid found its way into Newark-made carriages, billiard balls, and dentures.
