The Excessive Bail Clause of the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that a defendant should not be required to pay an excessively high bail amount during the pretrial process.

The idea is that bail should not be used:

  • to raise money for the government;
  • as a punitive measure to keep a suspect in jail due to their perceived dangerousness.

Bail is meant to give the arrested person the possibility to remain free up to the point where they are summoned to court, because during the pretrial process, they have not yet been convicted of a crime.

Answer:

1 The ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’ is the name used by Sir Percy Blakeney, an Englishman who uses many clever disguises (=ways of changing your clothes and appearance so that people do not recognize you) in order to help French people from a high social class to escape from France, and from the possibility of having their heads cut off by the guillotine during the French Revolution. There is a well-known short poem about him, which begins with the words ‘They seek him here, they seek him there...’, and is about how difficult it is to find the Scarlet Pimpernel.

2. Marguerite considers her betrayal of the Scarlet Pimpernel truly “base” and feels she must atone for her sin.

Although everybody in the kingdoms answered to the kings, the kings answered to God. All the rules that were put in place were done so in respect of the church's commandments, keeping in mind what God wanted the people to do.

What purpose does the wicker fence serve?
IRINA_888 [86]

The correct answer is - protection of the cargo.

The wicker fence on the ships of the Phoenicians had the purpose to protect the cargo. Since the sea waters are not always calm, and very often, out of nowhere, a storm can emerge and contribute to bigger waves, as well as rocking of the ship itself, the Phoenicians invented a simple trick, and that was the wicker fence. With it on place, the cargo was safe on the boat, and it was not able to slip away and be lost in the sea.
