In a nutshell, the cruel and unusual punishment clause measures a particular punishment against society's prohibition against inhuman treatment. It prevents the government from imposing a penalty that is either barbaric or far too severe for the crime committed.

1. Why did many Americans feel that the result of the 1824 elections was fraudulent?
uysha [10]
1. The correct answer is <span>C. Andrew Jackson won the majority of electoral votes, but he did not win the most popular votes; therefore he did not become president. This is the first (and so far, the last) time in American history that the person who won the majority of electoral votes didn't become president. Jackson would become president in 1829.

2. The correct answer is </span><span>A. It was possible that an unqualified person could receive a government job. The spoils system was deeply ingrained in the ideology of Jackson's supporters. It happens when the newly elected government gives sinecures and government jobs to its most ardent followers, thus rewarding them for their loyalty. Of course, the natural consequence is that the most loyal people get the best jobs, regardless of their competence or qualifications.

3. The correct answer is </span><span>B. men who did not own property. But in practice, this meant all white men. At this point in history, it was far too early to talk about black men or women getting suffrage. Before Jackson, only white men who had property could vote. He wanted to put a stop to it, advocating the rights of "the common man", against the relics of old aristocratic traditions.</span>
