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.

"Regular Sunday worship in the local church was paralleled by illicit, or at least informal, prayer meetings on weeknights in the slave cabins. Preachers licensed by the church and hired by the master were supplemented by slave preachers licensed only by the spirit.

Slaves forbidden by masters to attend church or, in some cases, even to pray, risked floggings to attend secret gatherings to worship God."

France and England both knew that the trade with Asia could bring a great amount of wealth to their countries, but the trade routes at the time were dangerous to travel. This was a major concern for both England and France, and was a cause for search of a northwestern trade route.
They wanted to compete with the Portuguese and Spanish territories and explorations. Portugal was setting a trade route along the coast of Africa, so this encouraged both nations to fins a quicker route in the northwest.
Most of the routes were passing over Muslim lands, and you needed to trade with Turks, Arabs, Persians, and Musilims as well. Because of heavy Christian-Muslim tensions, paying to these people was considered to be out of the rule by some English and French rulers. So they were actually trying to "bypass" their enemies to get all the Asian items they wanted.
