The practice of capital punishment is
as old as government itself. For most of history, it has not been
considered controversial. Since ancient times most governments have
punished a wide variety of crimes by death and have conducted executions as a
routine part of the administration of criminal law. However, in the
mid-18th century, social critics in Europe began to emphasize the worth of the
individual and to criticize government practices they considered unjust,
including capital punishment. The controversy and debate over whether
governments should utilize the death penalty continue today. The first significant movement to abolish the death penalty began during the era known as the Age of Enlightenment.
