Answer:

"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment imposed."

Step-by-step explanation:

The theme for the 8th Amendment resembles as similar to the fifth and sixth amendments that prohibits the legal justice system to abuse its power over the criminal defendants by imposing harsh punishments or almost impossible to serve the sentences.

The amendment is criticized for its ambiguity in some way it doesn't define the cruel and punishments properly. They lack basics or even references from till now no one knows what constitutes to its inclusion in the Bill of rights in Historic times.
