Hypothesis
Execution punishments will have a positive correlation with the sociopolitical variables.
Note
The sociopolitical variables are 1) the presence of social stratification, 2) the presence of external trade, and 3) greater community size. The results moderately support the correlation with social stratification. In addition, they weakly support the correlation with the presence of external trade and greater community size.
