How does the Eighth Amendment pertain to bail?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail, which means that the amount set for bail should not be more than what is reasonably necessary to ensure the defendant's appearance in court. It does not grant an absolute right to bail nor does it require all states to allow bail. While it does offer some protection to defendants who cannot afford to pay their bail, it does not guarantee their release without bail.
