Central Washington University Issue Spotter Paper

Issue spotters are questions set by the instructor asking for the specific State Law and a full analysis of the issue and questions presented. This will require outside research – for the work cited at the end, you have to put the link that direct to the website where you got the informations from, please do include the name of the case (or at least a foot end note) which you will use the information in the work. Issue Spotters must be well written and thought out.

The 8th amendment discusses cruel and unusual punishment. Former President Donald Trump recently started federal executions again after a long hiatus.
