    1. I believe the answer is: D. cruel and unusual punishment.

    Fur, man v. Georgia (1972) revolved around the decision on which type of crimes is considered severe enough to be punishable by death penalty and the method that can be used for the death penalty. The court ruled out that rappist cannot be subjected to death penalty and death by lightning can no longer be used.

    2. I believe the answer is: D. create clear standards to be applied fairly before imposing the death penalty.

    The court ruled out that even if there might be some crime that could be punishable by death penalty, the process had to carried out as painless as possible. This limit the type of method that can used for the punishment and additional special treatment that death convict has before their punishment.
