Introduction to Death Penalty: 
The execution of an accused person sentenced to death after the accused is found guilty by the court of law is known as death penalty. (Hood.2020) Capital punishment and death penalty are the two terms that can be used interchangeably because there are possibilities that it can be reduced to a lifetime imprisonment. Death penalty has a history that dates back to the 7th century BCE. Death penalty was used in ancient Greece widely for murder, treason, arson, rape and many other crimes as such. It was used by the Romans as well widely for various crimes. People who follow Judaism and Christianity have claimed to find the death penalty justifiable in a passage in the Bible. For instance, “Whosoever sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed” is something that the Bible says. People who follow Islamism also know that the Quran prescribes death penalty for some fixed crimes. The death penalty was formerly used extensively in England for a large number of crimes in the 17th and 18th century. In the ancient ages execution in China was carried out in many painful methods. Boiling a person and cutting into halves are some of them. By the end of 20th century many US states that allowed death penalty adopted lethal injection. Studies show that out of many countries, on an average only 30 countries carry out the death penalty. Here we are going to debate on how the death penalty is justifiable considering the conservative and the Fascist ideology. 
General representation of both the Ideologies and their relation to the death penalty: 
(Conservatives. New voices.) Conservatism refers to a lifestyle that is conventional. It may refer to the lifestyle that refuses to change or fears change. In earlier times it was used as a political ideology. As a political ideology it can be defined as the resistance to change.
