Funk Wagnalls Soviet Socialist
1,398 wordsJoseph Stalin (1927 - 1953) led the Soviet State through the challenges of World War II. Although the war was a terrible drain on the already impoverished and exhausted society, it resulted, paradoxically in strengthening the Soviet dictatorship.

The Soviet Union emerged from the war as second in power only to the United Stat...

Life Without Parole Cruel And Unusual Punishment
1,753 wordsThe topic I chose for my research paper is Capital punishment. I chose this topic because I think Capital punishment should be banned in all states.

The death penalty constitutes cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments (Bedau 2). Those who had shown no respect for life would be restrained, permanently i...
