Answer and Explanation:

The main issue in the Supreme Court decision was that those who committed the crimes were juveniles. It is unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life terms without paroles because it violates the 8th Amendments prohibition of cruel and unusual punishments, which considered the impact of juveniles’ immaturity, family backgrounds and environments.
