The correct answer is people accused of crimes have specific constitutional protections.

The 8th amendment outlines some of these protections including:

1) Protection against excessive bail- This means that a person's bail must be set at a reasonable price based on their crime. For example, if someone steals a $100 shirt from a store, their bail cannot be set for $1 million dollars.

2)Protection against cruel and unusual punishment- This means that a citizen cannot face a punishment that is considered inhumane by the law. For example, citizens cannot be given the death penalty and then killed by the guillotine. That would be considered a cruel and unusual punishment.
