Answer to my question 3

Which country was the fist to have death penalty?

When you look at the history of death penalty, the first one established was said to be in the eighteen century B.C. in the code of king Hammurabi of Babylon.
However in this time death penalty was not only done when murdering but also 25 different crimes.
Death penalty was carried out by drowning,beating,burning alive and so on. It was in the tenth centuryA.D. that hanging was usaual in Britain.
The first leagal execution in American colonies occurred in Virginia in1622.
