Number of words: 1009 - Number of pages: 4.... to Adolf
Hitler. Immediately after Lenin's death, a man very much the same in nature
as Hitler, Stalin, came to control the Bolsheviks and throw Russia in a
civil war in a quest for power. You now have two men of equal aspirations
soon to be in control of two very similar gove rnments. In any rise of
power, there needs to be a period of careful planning requiring much
thought. These two men had very little history with which to work with

After the establishment of independence in the United States, the development of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights ensued.

death penalty laws do not have lower crime rates or murder rates than
states without such laws. And states that have abolished capital punishment,

rates.
Don't murderers deserve to die? Certainly, in general, the
