Punishments that are grossly disproportionate to the offense as well as those that transgress today's broad and idealistic concepts of dignity, civilized standards, humanity, and decency are known as punishments.

Cruel and unusual

Explanation: Punishment is a term used to describe the process through which physical and psychological actions are taken against criminals and offenders in order to correct the abnormalities associated with their actions.

PURNISHNMENT SHOULD BE A CORRECTIVE SET OF ACTIONS AND NOT DESTRUCTIVE, IT SHOULD NOT BE DONE IN SUCH A WAY TO DESTROY THE DIGNITY, CIVILIZED STANDARDS, HUMANITY, AND DECENCY OF THE PERSON.

Punishments that are grossly disproportionate to the offense as well as those that transgress today's broad and idealistic concepts of dignity, civilized standards, humanity, and decency are known as cruel and unusual punishments.

i think it can have both positive and negative effects on businesses.

for example:

lets say you own a small business and taxes go up 4% that means it is going to cost your business more money to buy product to sell. but at the same time you make more money from the tax rise.

that is my theory.
