Answer:

C. applied unequally across states.

Explanation:

The case of Furman V. Georgia occured in 1972. At that time, most states did not necessarily 'Banned' the use of death penalty as a punishment. But the problems occurred because it seems that each states have different standard when determining which type of criminals should be sentenced with death penalty.

Example of the unequal application :

Furman was sentenced to death penalty because he killed someone during an attempted robbery.  But criminals who convicted with the same charge in California at that time was punished with 25 years of prison time. Not death penalty.

How can there be a balance between development and damage to the environment?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The economy is, of course, based on the environment. If the environment is not protected, then in the long run the economy will pay the price.

analyze similarities and differences in how the byzantine empire and the islamic caliphates use religion to govern before 1450.
miss Akunina [59]
One similarity was that religious leaders were also political leaders (to various degrees) in both entities. This meant that their power would not be as challenged by the citizens (after all, their leaders were god-sent, and opposing them could lead to God's wrath). Also, in this way, the entities could control their subjects better, because they controlled their private life too (including private ceremonies, such as marriages). <span />

According to the chart above, what percentage of US energy is produced by all of the nonrenewable sources, combined?
Zanzabum

Answer:

91%

Explanation:

As per the given pie chart, Non-Renewable sources include Coal, Nuclear power, Natural gas, and Petroleum.

Percentage of Coal = 52%

Percentage of Nuclear power = 16%

Percentage of natural gas = 20%

Percentage of Petroleum = 3%

∵ Total percentage of non-renewable sources of energy = Coal + nuclear power + natural gas + petroleum

= 52%  + 16% + 20% + 3%  

=   91%

While the other 9% is renewable energy including 7% Hydropower and 2% of geothermal, wind, solar energy, etc.

Thus, 91 % is the combined percentage of US energy produced by all of the nonrenewable sources.
