The Eighth Amendment prohibits the government from imposing unruly fines or harsh penalties on a defendant of a crime.
This picture shows a man in the electric chair receiving the death sentence, or in Eighth Amendment terms, cruel and unusual punishment. The death penalty is something that many people believe should be no more and that America should do away with it.
