《美利坚合众国宪法》第八修正案（英语：Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution）简称“第八修正案”（Amendment VIII），是权利法案的一部分，主要目的是不允许施加酷刑。它来源于英国法律，导致了日后美国法律废除对未成年人的死刑。[1]
内容
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
- 译文：不得要求过多的保释金，不得处以过重的罚金，不得施加残酷并且不正常的惩罚。
