Answer:

option A 8th Ammendment

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the Eighth Amendment, excessive bail is bail set at a rate higher than an amount reasonably calculated to fulfill the criteria.

it provides constitutional protection against excessive bail.

Excessive bail is an amount of bail ordered to be given by the accused/defendant which is more than reasonable or usual to ensure they will make court appearances with regards to minor crimes.
