Impeachable Offenses

The third issue discussed was which offenses should be impeachable and how the laws should be written. A rather harsh law, where death penalty is issued for murderers and long prison sentences for other offenses, was suggested. Some of the delegates sought endorsement for a medium law, with prison sentences and fines being the primary punishments. There were those that thought that each state should be able to set their own laws for offenses, and suggested mild laws that each state could build upon. Mild laws, with short prison sentences and hefty fines, were another suggestion.\n\nWhat should the Thirteen States vote for?
