chosen.content: Neither is the best solution; both are acts of murder. The best solution is to use reason and evidence to ascertain whether the person in question is truly a witch or not, rather than resorting to death as punishment.

rejected.content: Neither. In medieval times, drowning or burning someone was not an effective way of determining if someone was a witch. Instead, an Inquisitor or accuser should be used to question the individual and provide evidence of wrongdoings before any action should be taken. Even in those cases when evidence of sorcery could be found, sentencing to death was not the preferred punishment as execution of a person accused of witchcraft was prohibited by several Church councils.
