Supporters of capital punishment in nineteenth century America believed that abolishing capital punishment would ‘break up the foundations of society." How did Lydia Child answer this argument for the death sentence?

Answer and Explanation:

Lydia Child was an activist who penned a letter in November 1842 to express her concern and disgust on capital punishment. According to her human life is sacred and should not be taken away through a law that justifies execution of those who break the law. She concludes that having such laws that contradict the "universal instincts of the human heart..." is the real danger and causes even more evasion of the law and thus repealing these laws would bring positive results and be safer
