Why is amendment 8 important?
The provision the Eighth Amendment provides is that the federal government can't require excessive bail, impose massive fines, or inflict "cruel and unusual" punishments. The main reason the US Bill of Rights, as well as the English Bill of Rights, have this, is because of a case in England involving a man who, while imprisoned, was taken to a pillory two days of the year, and once a year was whipped while on a moving cart. This was pretty seriously messed up.
