Guillotines were used ever since their discovery by a German specialist! Hanging, even though it was used successfully in the Middle Eve, was considered exceptionally cruel and barbaric by public in the times of the Renaissance. So a German invented the guillotine, a punishment weapon which was extraordinarily fast and which assured that no one would suffer any pain when executed. It was considered the most humane method of dispatching criminals that were considered threats to society. They did not hang people for crimes in the Renaissance and certainly they did not throw rocks at them. They were beheaded through the use of the guillotine(not an axe or other sharp-edged weapons). The society in the Renaissance was a lot like ours is today. The Renaissance has almost nothing to the with the dark period of the Middle Eve.

Death is historically the ultimate punishment for heinous crimes, such as the killings of police officers.\n\nBut as Harry Potter might answer, "The Dementor's Kiss"\n\n(just kidding)

A short answer is better than a long one. The Puritans primarily punished those who were not Puritans.

Why don't you try looking for poems written during the Renaissance.  It is possible to find some thematically linked poems there. You have to do some work on your own.

It goes back to the Salem witch trials in the late 1600's. People were charged, convicted and executed on the flimsiness of evidence or no evidence at all. Sometimes all that was need was for someone to accused them.

The people who tortured him and nailed him to a cross were Romans.  The usual punishment for fomenting rebellion was crucifixion.  Ultimately, though, it doesn't matter who killed him.  He died willingly to take away the sins of the world.

I can think of three major categories, depending on the severity of the crime.\n\nCivil infraction - speeding ticket, etc.  Not really a crime.\n\nMisdemeanor - crime punishable by less than a year in jail.  Some states have 'high misdemeanors' that are punishable by less than 2 years in jail.\n\nFelony - crime punishable by more than a year in prison.  Capital crimes are those felonies that are punishable by death (or life in prison).  Murder is the big one here.\n\nI guess you could also categorize crimes by victims/results splitting them up into property crimes, white collar crimes, violent crimes, vice (so called victimless crimes), etc..\n\nNot all criminals are created equal.

Being a priest in the middle ages wasn't what we consider it now.  It was mostly a politcial position bought for second sons.  Like being a politician today there were some people that took their job seriously, and then there were the people who were spoiled and corrupt.  There was almost no accountablity, so those that broke the Church's rules paid their way out if they got into trouble, or did what they wanted.  The widespread corruption was what eventually lead to the breaking of Church authority.

Also the renaissance was in the "A.D.s" Although I have no idea what the "5 laws" are supposed to be. Presumably it has something to do with the Vatican.\n\nI'm not sure if this will help, but I have included a couple pages with the history of 15th century Rome
