What!? Is that really necessary?? Yes, I did try to steal some food, but please, thats just too long
Sorry, there is nothing I can do. You did something bad and now you have to be punished.
Well because of what you've done you shall stay in jail for 1 year.
*Person Interrupts*
Hold on, Hold on. Actually, The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
Which means that this punishment is unnecessary due to the fact that it is a very unusual punishment.
Thank you so much! 1 year would have been so long just for stealing food.
No Problem :)
Huh... I guess she's right.
This shows what the 8th Amendment does by giving an example of how the amendment works.This amendment to Americans means that little problems should not be turned into bigger issues if it isn't necessary.
