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.

Exact real rate of interest= (9.44% - 5.21%) / (1 + 5.21%)

Exact real rate of interest=4.23% / 1.521%

Exact real rate of interest= 2.78%
