Eighth Amendment : Cruel And Unusual Punishment
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper explains and discuses Amendment VIII of the U.S. Constitution, which reads: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." The discussion centers on the phrase "cruel and unusual punishment." A great number of cases alleging cruel and unusual punishment have reached the level of the U.S. Supreme Court and it is from these cases that we derive at least partial interpretations of what would be considered an act that violates the Eighth Amendment. Cases discussed include: California's "Three Strikes, You're Out" law, the death penalty for mentally retarded persons, and punishments inflicted on prison inmates by their guards, among others. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Eighth Amendment: Overview
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects individuals against excessive bail and fines, as well as cruel and unusual punishments; pertinent to this particular amendment is the treatment of inmates. In spite of myriad frivolous federal lawsuits brought about by prison inmates who claim their constitutional rights under the Eighth Amendment have been violated, there is a window of protection within the scope of this amendment that affords them safekeeping against "being deprived of the basic necessities of life, such as food, shelter, health care, or personal security" (Hamden 15). However, it is the extent to which the deprivation of these inherent rights can be proved that establishes whether or not the Eighth Amendment has, indeed, been violated. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Emancipation Of Children
[ send me this paper ]
A 25 page paper discussing the liberation of children from their parents' control. The emancipation of children from the control of their parents has been an issue in this country for years. Twenty years ago, adults were nearly at a loss for any sense of control over the actions of their teenage children. Though many of the more radical measures have since been neutralized, parents are still at risk if they impose any measure of forced control over their dependent children who are approaching the age of majority. There are also those who believe that the age of majority should be lowered from 18 to 16, along with applicable child labor laws so that those between the ages of 16 and 18 can be employed in a manner in which they can support themselves and so be fully independent of their parents should they choose to do so. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
