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.
Amendment VIII. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. A common argument in favor of torture is that the Eight Amendment does not apply to the military; nor to foreigners; nor to wartime situations; nor to foreign soil.
