Question

Withholding medical treatment is a violation of the ____ constitutional amendment.​

Answer 1

Eighth constitutional amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

The Eighth Amendment determines: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” But there is also an interpretation that if a prisoner is denied medical treatment it violates the prisoner's constitutional rights, but the prisoner must allege a serious medical condition and the official needs to have an indifference to that condition, this is a precedent from the case Estelle v. Gamble 1976.

Answer 2

Withholding the medical treatment is a violation of the eighth constitutional amendment. In addition, the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution is the sector of the Bill of Rights which states that penalties must be fair, cannot be forbidding, and that charges that are extremely large cannot be established and outlaws the federal government from commanding excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual penalties.
