If the U.S. Supreme Court wants to promote human dignity, if it really reflects the will of the people and not their leaders, the justices will constitutionally continue the punishment of death, allowing us to denounce our worst predators and at least declare our commitment to — although we rarely deliver — real justice.
Answer: criminology unit 5: white-collar, corporate & public order crimes
Explanation: Edward Teach was one of the most feared pirates of all time. Many of his victims gave up without a fight upon seeing him. His own crew feared him, but by 1718, he had over 300 pirates plundering ships in the Caribbean for him. During battles, he would weave hemp into his hair and beard and light it on fire. This along with his multiple pistols, swords, and knives made him not only successful at his chosen activities but powerful as well. When he died in battle in 1718, it was said that he had over five bullet wounds and 20 sword cuts before falling. You may be more familiar with Edward Teach's nickname: Blackbeard.
Carlo Gambino was born in Sicily in 1902 and would become the "boss" of one of America's most fearsome Mafia families. He came to the United States in 1921, smuggled onboard a freighter carrying wine and olive oil. When his boss was murdered in 1957, Gambino began his dynasty. By 1969, he had over 950 men and 25 crews in his organization. Under constant surveillance and charged with masterminding an armed robbery, Gambino would die in 1976 of a heart attack at the age of 74.
What do these two men from very different time periods have in common? They both engaged in organized crime. Although piracy is a bit different than what we see in The Sopranos or movies on the Mafia, it is an early form with many of the same characteristics: an organized effort to engage in illegal activities for profit.
In this unit, we will turn our attention to white-collar, corporate, organized, and public order crimes. Although public order crimes receive attention from the media and society, the other types of crime that we will discuss are often an afterthought behind street crimes in North America. Yet, these types of crimes cost society billions of dollars each year.

Answer:
Two thirds of both houses must vote to override a veto.
Explanation:
The word veto comes from Latin and literally means 'forbid'. It is used to denote that a certain party has the right to unilaterally stop a certain piece of legislation. A veto, therefore, provides unlimited power to stop changes, but not to adopt them.
In the United States, the president has the ability to veto legislation that has passed through Congress, but this right is not absolute. A qualified majority of 2/3 of both houses can pass a law, even against a presidential veto; However, if the proposed law has only a simple majority, the president's veto is decisive.
