Answer to Question 1

All criminal law in the United States must conform to the rules and dictates of the U.S. Constitution. Criminal laws have been interpreted as violations of constitutional principles if they are too vague or too broad to give clear meaning of their intent. The Constitution also prohibits laws that make a person's status a crime. Instead, only acts can be crimes. The Constitution also limits laws that are overly cruel or unusual.
