i'm confused between A and C
1. B
2. A
For the first question, you are correct! The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits "cruel and unusual" punishment, so the answer is B.
As for the second question, the two types of mistakes in respect to criminal law are "mistake of law" and "mistake of fact," so the answer is A. A mistake of law occurs when a person misunderstands or misinterprets the law, whereas a mistake of fact occurs when a person makes an error about the facts or circumstances of a situation. So, in this case, A is the correct answer.
