the 8th amendment because it can’t be the second because that’s right to bear arms. it can’t be the fifth because that’s ‘i plead the fifth’ which basically means you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. nobody can force you to talk. it can’t be the third because it talks about how soldiers can’t stay in someone’s house during war and whatnot. so it’s the 8th. hope this helps
