The English bill of rights is prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment, as well as excessive bail. When the government wanted to keep someone in jail illegally they would declare a huge amount of money for bail which could not be paid. This would give off the illusion that the person could walk out on bail but in reality it was done on purpose to prevent them. Also, cruel and unusual punishment such as torture or similar was common so the bill of rights outlawed it.

According to Digital History, historians have viewed Reconstruction as a success. They attribute this to the changing race relations that occurred centuries after in economic, social and political spheres.

Reconstruction was a turbulent time as the aftermath of the Civil War left unanswered the fate of former slaves. Congress responded by passing Constitutional amendments and laws aimed to help freedmen. Although, the South saw rise to the Ku Klux Klan which preached white supremacy and eventually political help from the North diminished. In that time, citizens considered Reconstruction to be characterized by corruption and used this to justify Jim Crow policies of the 1960s.
