1.
Are there any punishments from 1836 that you would like to see used
today?
2.
How has the way in which laws are made today changed since the 19th
century? Has this changed the way we see punishment?
3.
Do some research to find out how the crimes committed in 1786 and 1836
might be punished now. What are the main differences?
