  Capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The seats of government in major substate jurisdictions are usually called capitals, but at lower administrative subdivisions, terms such as county town, county seat, or borough seat are also used.
In South Africa, for example, the administrative capital is Pretoria, the legislative capital is Cape Town, and the judicial capital is Bloemfontein, the outcome of the compromise that created the Union of South Africa in 1910.
Unlike medieval capitals, which were declared wherever a monarch held his or her court, the selection, relocation, founding, or capture of a modern capital city is an emotional affair.

 Capital Punishment
Furthermore, opponents of capital punishment candidly admit that they would oppose the death penalty even if it were an effective deterrent.(5) So while these are important social and political issues to consider, they are not sufficient justification for the abolition of the death penalty.
Opponents of capital punishment who accuse the government of committing murder by implementing the death penalty fail to see the irony of using Exodus 20 to define murder but ignoring Exodus 21, which specifically teaches that government is to punish the murderer.
Capital punishment is to be implemented because of the sanctity of human life.

Operating the federal government under a capital budgeting rule will lead to lower private investment than would be the case if government investment spending were paid for out of each year s revenues.
A capital budget would include the depreciation of past investment outlays as an operating expense and so a growing volume of public investment would gradually lead to counter pressures, as the accumulating depreciation charges had to be covered out of current revenues.
A second factor that places limits on the bond-issuing propensity of state governments, but which is not applicable to the federal government, is that a state s citizens can vote with their feet.
