1. Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

In 2004, a Florida court sentenced Terrence Graham, who had a previous record,
to life imprisonment without parole for an armed home robbery he committed
when he was sixteen years old. The Supreme Court later ruled in Graham v.
Florida (2009) that it was unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life
imprisonment without parole for non-homicide offenses.

The Supreme Court based its decision on which constitutional right?
