The use of the words "imposition of" indicate that the questioner perhaps is thinking about the Eighth Amendment rather than the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution. The Eighth Amendment specifically prohibits the imposition of excessive fines. The full wording of the Eighth Amendment is: " Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." The Fifth Amendments has prohibitions against other types of potential governmental abuses, but does not use the words "imposition of". The text of the Fifth Amend and its protections are as follows: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
