Introduction


        In our society today, death penalty becomes very popular and most controversial issue in the United States. In this paper, we will focus on death penalty issue in three categories are civil right, public opinion and the congress. We will use three categories to describe how each of them has their own perspectives to look at death penalty. Before we begin, we will first introduce the three areas categories and explain about each one of them.
 
        First, we will explain about the public opinion. Public opinion is citizen given the opinion to the issues or questions. Opinion involves in interviewing the citizen. In America, everyone has right to argue what they want and give opinion to certain things. American society is create by the people and they have every right to hold their opinion. If people didn't speak out or give their opinion, no one really know what the people or majority think or want. When people didn't involve in what's going on in society,  it would be hard to imagine how the national government be response to the public with in the society.

        Public opinion is important to the government, because the society is under ruled  by government. And the government tend to response to the public opinion. Many times, states law for and against in particular issues have always reflected from  the public mood.
 
        Second, we will explain about the civil rights. During the 1950s to 1960s, our  government started promoting social equality and civil rights movement. The government thought  that many people didn't have equality in society. In the civil rights movement in 1964, it established the government guarantor of political and social equality for all the people. It's mean provides equal of opportunity and improve the quality of life throughout the United States.

        Civil right act movement gives people all individual right, especially the black. Also civil rights are powers or privileges guaranteed to the individual and protected from arbitrary at the hands of the government or other individual.

        Third, we will explain about the congress. Congress is usually enact laws. In the United States, congress has two separate and powerful chambers, which are the House of Representatives and the Senate. A bill can't become a law unless it is passed in identical form by both the house of representatives and the senate. All the members of congress have to vote on each bill that emerges from the committees. Those who are not on a particular committee depend on committee members to examine the issues thoroughly to make compromises as necessary, and to bring forward a sound piece of legislation that has a good chance of being passed. Each members decides individually on the bill's merits. When the bill reaches the House of Representatives and the Senate too, members may get to vote on only a handful of amendment before they must cast their yea or nay for the entire bill.
 
        Before the bill have become a law, congress members, two chambers and the president have to make a lot of decision in order to past the law. In some cases, when a bill passed by the two chambers and the congress members, president can cancel them. Also the congress can override a president's veto by an extraordinary of two-thirds of majority in each chamber.
