High Cost for Life

With the rise of the death penalty movement, the Executive Branch paid a high cost to protect life in Brasxicol. With Brasxicol's commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in danger, the Executive Branch asked the mayority in Parliament to propose legislation that would ban it, even if their supporters were elected.

With mayority, Parliament was able to pass the law but also included in it penalties for radicalization of political parties and organizations that in the end rendered them illegal. A supporter of the legislation proudly said: "We are not only protecting us against the politics of fear and hurtful legislation but also laying the foundation to safeguard us from insurrections and guerillas. Violence and death are not ways to resolve issues here in Brasxicol".

The Executive Branch was highly dissapointed though as this also thwarted political freedoms in Brasxicol. Analysts mention that this sort of paradox is a clear sign of inexperience in the government. "Brasxicol is a young Republic with young people in the Government. This sort of 'lesser of two evils' lesson should prove a big experience in legilsation to come."
