Answer
Brief Explanations:
The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments. This means people accused of crimes have constitutional protections. The first option is incorrect as people accused of crimes do have rights (like those in the Eighth Amendment). The second option is wrong because there's no such requirement in the Eighth Amendment. The fourth option is incorrect as the Eighth Amendment limits the government's punishment - inflicting power.
