Explanation:

Did you forget to say that this question is about "Romeo and Juliet"

In the first scene, we learned that street fights were not tolerated in the kingdom and that the king decided to institute a law that severely punished those who practiced such an act in the streets. This law stated that those who fought on the street would be executed. However, when Romeo fights on the street and ends up killing Tybalt, the king shows him mercy, banishing him, instead of condemning him to death.
