Read the eighth amendment to the constitution. excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. which statement best summarizes the intent of the eighth amendment? people accused of crimes have no rights until there is a verdict in court. the government must ask victims’ families how criminals should be punished. people accused of crimes have specific constitutional protections. the government may inflict any kind of punishment it chooses.
