"When we come to punishments, no latitude ought to be left, nor dependence put, on the virtue of representatives... in this business of legislation, your members of congress will loose the restriction of not imposing the excessive fines, demanding excessive bail, and inflicting cruel and unusual punishment."
-by: Patrick Henry
This quote means that people will have a fair trail before the decsion of the death is decide and that if you get a speeding ticket or you steal something you will not get sentnce to death because it would be unfair and it would be an unusal punshiment for stealing or a speeding ticket. So the 8th admentment protects the public people.
