Strongly agree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

Modern liberalism is concerned with social justice and the protection of individual rights, so the risk of innocent people being executed is a significant concern. This argument is often cited by modern liberals in their opposition to the death penalty, as seen in the Innocence Project's work to exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals. However, there is some variation in opinions within the ideology, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Many modern liberals would agree with this answer, as they believe that life imprisonment is a more humane and just punishment than the death penalty. Additionally, life imprisonment allows for the possibility of rehabilitation and exoneration in cases of wrongful conviction. However, not all modern liberals may agree with this reasoning, so the score is not a full 5.

Neutral

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

This answer represents a middle ground that some modern liberals may agree with, as it acknowledges the need for strong evidence and limits the death penalty to only the most heinous crimes. However, many modern liberals still oppose the death penalty in principle, so the score is neutral.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Modern liberalism emphasizes the importance of a fair and impartial justice system, and allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would undermine this principle. This approach could lead to emotional and potentially biased decisions, which is not in line with modern liberal values.
