The Eight Amendment was included after the Constitution was ratified. It was added was because many thought the Constitution initially made the government too powerful and it allowed the Congress create Federal crimes and punish those who committed those crimes, because of that, many thought it could be used as a tool to opress the population.

Which groups of people were most closely associated with the spread of the black death?
prohojiy [21]
I know for sure one group would be merchants. They were the ones travelling to potentially infected areas---buying things with the plague's germs, and selling it to people on areas that WEREN'T previously infected. Sailors too I believe, for very similar reasons and because rats were infected, and rats caught rides on ships and spread the disease wherever the ship docked.

Hope this helped. :)

PLEASE HURYY How does volcanic ash help preserve remians?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

A constant and rapid fall of volcanic ash from a large eruption is ideal for preserving what exists upon the land at the time of deposition. So you see we should even preserve the things.  It can bury them intact without moving them and without completely crushing or burning them.
