Ok.

So what was not considered cruel or unusual then but is today?

The example that comes to mind first is hanging.

I am not so sure the changes since early on are actually Constitutional. Yes drawn and quartered as well as disembowling are cruel and unusual. Hanging is not.

Just look at today's joke of an incarceration system.
