question 8 (1 point)
which case involving the death penalty was later overturned?

roper v. simmons (2005)

mccleskey v. kemp (1987)

furman v. georgia (1972)

gregg v. georgia (1976)

Explanation:

Furman v. Georgia (1972) ruled that the death penalty as then - applied was unconstitutional (violating Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments due to arbitrary application). Later, cases like Gregg v. Georgia (1976) helped re - establish the death penalty with revised procedures, effectively overturning the broad holding of Furman. Roper v. Simmons dealt with juvenile death penalty, McCleskey v. Kemp with racial disparities in sentencing (not overturned in the same sense), and Gregg re - instated the death penalty.

Answer:

Furman v. Georgia (1972)
