8th Amendment Excessive Fines Clause Incorporated

We need to update our lecture notes, lesson plans, textbooks, etc. The Supreme Court has incorporated another right: the prohibition on “excessive fines” from the Eighth Amendment. 

As Ruthann Robson write:

Now the only rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights that are not incorporated through the Fourteenth Amendment to the states are the Third Amendment prohibiting quartering of soldiers, Fifth Amendment right to a grand jury indictment in a criminal case, and the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial in civil cases.”

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability
    and appearance. I must say you’ve done a awesome job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Firefox.
    Superb Blog!
