Florida Civics EOC Practice Test

The 8th amendment prohibits excessive bail amounts and cruel and unusual punishment, not self-incrimination, unlawful search and seizure, or discrimination based on gender. The 8th amendment was created to protect individuals from unreasonable and unnecessary punishment, such as torture or degrading treatment, and to ensure that bail amounts were not set too high. It does not directly address self-incrimination, unlawful search and seizure, or discrimination based on gender, as those are covered by other amendments such as the 5th and 14th amendments. Therefore, B is the only choice that accurately reflects what is prohibited by the 8th amendment.
