The impact of **Furman v. Georgia (1972)** was that states had to **create clear standards to be applied fairly before imposing the death penalty**. The Supreme Court's decision in this case effectively declared that the application of the death penalty, as it was then being administered, was unconstitutional due to its arbitrary and discriminatory nature. This ruling required states to establish clearer guidelines and standards to ensure that the death penalty was imposed in a more uniform and just manner.
