Which statement from the English Bill of Rights is reflected in the US Constitution's Eighth Amendment?

  1. That excessive bail

  2. No taxation without representation

  3. The right to bear arms

  4. Freedom of speech

The correct answer is: That excessive bail

The Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail or fines, as well as from imposing cruel or unusual punishment. This principle is derived from the English Bill of Rights, which also included protections against excessive bail and fines. Therefore, the correct statement from the English Bill of Rights that is reflected in the US Constitution's Eighth Amendment is A "That excessive bail." The other options, B, C, and D, are not related to the concept of excessive bail or punishment, and thus are incorrect.
