1. “The Blue Law of Connecticut” (1672) Page 50-51 For almost ever crime the punishment is much too extreme. This is because the punishment for all the crimes included death or was death. Death should not have been the end result for some of these crimes. Today the crimes that would still be regarded as criminal are: if the person kills another, if a person steals from another, and if a person gives false witness towards something to take away another’s life in revenge. The crimes 4,5,10, and 11 would be seen as criminal still today.
