In 3-5 sentences, describe the developments that occurred in georgia after it became a royal colony.

Perhaps no controversy has generated as much attention as that surrounding the imposition of the death penalty. Since the adoption of the Bill of Rights, our Constitution has contained the eighth amendment1 proscription against those punishments which are "cruel and unusual." Notwithstanding this principle the implementation of capital punishment has been traditionally accepted as a legitimate function of our system of criminal justice. In order to understand the problem of capital punishment, the social and political background of the movement against capital punishment, both in the United States2 and abroad, must be examined. Accordingly, before undertaking an analysis of Furman v. Georgia,5 this Comment will undertake a detailed and exhaustive examination of capital punishment as it developed in England and the United States. Such an examination will set the foundation for a critical evaluation of the arguments for and against capital punishment as advanced by the Furman Court. The issue of capital punishment cannot be discussed in a legal vacuum, but must be viewed from a moral, social, political, and philosophical, as well as legal, perspective. With this structural background, this Comment will examine the road to Furman - the legislative history and case law which comprises the backbone of the eighth amendment. It is only by a combination of the social and political trends and the legal precedents that Furman can be fully appreciated
