In Stack v. Boyle, 342 U.S. 1 (1951), the Supreme Court declared that a bail amount is excessive under the Eighth Amendment if it were a figure higher than is reasonably calculated to ensure the defendant's appearance at trial.
The 8th amendment means that if you are placed under bail, The bail has to be reasonable and fair according to the crime.or example, if you got caught stealing a grape out of a grocery store, the jury cannot place you under a 10,000 dollar bail it's simply unfair.Also this amendment means that if you've committed a crime the state cannot perform such unusual punishment such as hanging you or starving you.
