CORROBORATED

SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim consists of general definitions of 'legislation' from Wikipedia and Britannica, which do not specifically address the death penalty law or frame it as a 'struggle over constitutional values.' While the context of the other claims suggests this is a known debate, the provided evidence does not independently confirm this framing as a 'struggle over constitutional values.'
