Please help, this is a question from a test due a week ago What did Frederick Douglass mean when he wrote… “A new world had opened upon me. If life is more than breath and the "quick round of blood," I lived more in that one day than in a year of my slave life.”

In the case of furman v. georgia (1972), the united states supreme court ruled that the death penalty- in specific cases- being arbitrarily and inconsistently imposed, often in a discriminatory manner. as a result, the imposition of the death penalty as a punishment was stopped throughout the united states.
