The 8th amendment deals with the criminal justice system, and it prohibits excessive bail, fines, and cruel and unusual punishments. This amendment makes sure that a shoplifter of a $1 candy bar will not get life in prison or anything ridiculous like that. Bail and fines are also charged according to the crime, so for example you won't get a $1 million fine for speeding and the bail requirement is not an unpractical amount and you will only be denied bail for serious crimes.
