Response in English: Capital punishment, or the death penalty, has a long and complex history in the United States. Here are some key facts:- The death penalty was introduced to the United States during European colonization, and the first recorded execution took place in 1608 when Captain George Kendall was executed in the Jamestown colony of Virginia for being a spy for Spain.- During the 19th century, states began reducing their number of capital offenses and building state penitentiaries. In 1834, Pennsylvania became the first state to move executions from the public square to within prison walls. The trend towards private, rather than public executions continued.- The 20th century saw a gradual decline in the use of the death penalty, with several states abolishing it completely. - Between 1967 and 1977, a de-facto moratorium was placed on the death penalty in the United States, while the Supreme Court reviewed its constitutionality. In the 1972 case of Furman v. Georgia, the Supreme Court struck down state death penalty statutes as inconsistent and arbitrary but in 1976, with the Gregg v. Georgia case, they allowed its reinstatement as long as the sentencing followed certain guidelines to prevent arbitrary and inconsistent results.- Since the reinstatement of the death penalty, its use has been declining. In 2020, 17 death row inmates were executed in only five states, the lowest number of executions since 1991. Additionally, 22 states have abolished the death penalty altogether, with a further three states issuing a moratorium on executions.- There has been ongoing debate about the morality and efficacy of the death penalty, with issues such as racial bias, the risk of executing innocent people, and the cost of maintaining death row inmates being raised by opponents. .
