The Eighth Amendment protects American citizens from imposition of excessive bail or fines and any punishment regarded as cruel and unusual. Excessive fines are any monetary penalty that is disproportionate to the offense. Excessive bail is defined as any bail in excess of that which is necessary to ensure the appearance of the defendant at the action in question, however there are some circumstances do allow for no bail like capital offenses. The Supreme Court has found that cruel and unusual punishments include the revocation of citizenship; and terms of imprisonment disproportionate to the crime. In addition, the Court has formally recognized that the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment has three distinct roles: the delineating of acceptable punishment, the balancing of punishment with the severity of the crime, and the limiting of criminalization of behavior. The Court has also continued to grapple with issues concerning the constitutionality of the death penalty.
