Answer

The Eighth Amendment  prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishments.

Explanation

The Eighth Amendment was adopted, as part of the Bill of Rights, in 1791.

The Eighth Amendment of the Constitution states: 'Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.' The amendment is meant to safeguard Americans against excessive punishments. This provision was written in because of a case where a man named Titus Oates lied and caused many innocent people because of it.

Factor 1:  Who decides to run for office and what advantages candidates have over one another.

Factor 2:  Incumbency.  Usually the incumbent (the person already serving in the office) has a large advantage over challengers, unless negative events have the voters wanting to get rid of incumbents.

Factor 3:  The way congressional districts are drawn.  There have been court cases recently about "gerrymandering" -- attempts by a party in power to draw district boundaries in ways that will serve to perpetuate that party's power.

To what extent did women's rights improve during the gilded age
Sholpan [36]

Gilded Age is a period in American history at the end of the nineteenth century, more precisely from the 1860's-70's until about 1896-1900. The period was characterized by a glitter on the surface, while below was corruption. Changes that took place in this period had the most significant impact on women's lives and city growth. With the growth of cities and urbanization, modernism is emerging, which is manifested in everyday life, especially in the middle and upper classes.  Women besides the role of housewife are increasingly appearing in the public and taking part in social activities, as a sign of improving the status of women, but also as a symbol of personal status of class and modernism. At the same time, it leads to increased attention, which is directed at the behavior of women in the public, from how they were dressed, to the degree of freedom of behavior, and there was the possibility of being characterized as inadequate behavior. Nevertheless, women's rights, in addition to "superficial" changes, also included an increasing presence in education and public life, whether it was campaigning for social change or for the right to vote, as well as issues of reproductive rights. A class of working women appeared, so in addition to symbolic changes, there is also an influential corpus when it comes to deciding and contributing to changes.
