The correct answer is " cruel and unusual punishment."

Amendment VIII - Bail, Cruel and Unusual Punishment

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

The Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause is the most important and also the most controversial part of the Eighth Amendment.  

It is a mystery, after all what does it mean for a punishment to be cruel and unusual?  And how can we measure a punishment’s cruelty?

The Constitution is silent on what punishment is considered to be  cruel and unusual, it has been left for the courts to determine what is and what isn't permissible under the law.

Dear employees, in view of our small market and the challenges that the current period imposes on small companies, we decided to keep our business as an owner. We know that this choice is a big challenge and that it will cause us less funding to invest in our products, which can be a competitive disadvantage and can generate us less profits, however, this choice allows us to have more control in our production, that we can choose our suppliers and that we can choose the type of sales and marketing that best suits our region. I count on your support and effort to overcome this phase and become bigger and bigger according to our own desires.
