The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, so therefore one may not violate this particular law. However, what would happen if one did? Would it be justice? Well, “on June 25, 2012 the supreme court ruled juveniles who committed murder could not be sentence to life in prison because it violated the Eighth Amendment…” To this, though what would man be if we did not treat every person, young or old, equally. After all our Constitution states that “All men are created equal…” Therefore, the American society should punish those, no matter the age with little exceptions by imprisoning or simply just serving for what wrong they have acted upon, however the convicted should still have the right to defend and/ or persuade the judge
