The 8th Amendment because according to the 8th Amendment it is cruel and unusual punishment.
For example say you stole a candy bar and the store calls the cops on you and the judge and the jury find you guilty, they cant exactly sentence you to 10 years of jail for only stealing a candy bar , the punishment must fit the crime.
