Happy birthday and welcome to the world of adult responsibility.
As an adult, you will have many challenges and responsibilities. One of your most important responsibilities will be supporting and preserving democracy in our nation for ourselves and future generations. One of the best ways to do this is to vote. As a new adult, this will be your first voting experience, and there are some hot issues on the ballot. One of the most controversial issues concerns capital punishment. As a voter, you will have to decide whether or not your state should continue to allow capital punishment. Follow this link for a quick definition of capital punishment. Read the first paragraph for some important background information and then move on to the task section of this webquest.
