Read a random definition: foreign divorce

A quick definition of Excessive Fines Clause:

The Excessive Fines Clause is a part of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It says that people cannot be punished with fines that are too high. This means that the government cannot take too much money from someone as a punishment for a crime.

A more thorough explanation:

The Excessive Fines Clause is a part of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It prevents the government from imposing fines that are too high or unreasonable.

For example, if someone is caught speeding and the government fines them $1 million, that would be considered excessive and a violation of the Excessive Fines Clause. The fine should be proportionate to the offense committed.

Another example would be if a person is caught with a small amount of drugs and the government fines them $100,000. This would also be considered excessive and a violation of the Excessive Fines Clause.

The purpose of the Excessive Fines Clause is to protect individuals from being unfairly punished by the government. It ensures that fines are reasonable and not used as a way to generate revenue or punish individuals excessively.

Yeah but do you prefer a hand job to oral? I feel like I’ve never met anyone who likes that better. I guess the perk is that it’s less messy?
