The legal ramifications of imposing the death penalty means that someone will be put to death. It also means that the condemned person may be entitled to 7 or more hearings before a court of law and one before the person or persons that handles pardons. That means that some lawyers will make a lot of money. One report listed it as over 10 million dollars following the original trial. That amount is far, far more than it would cost to keep a person imprisoned for life without payroll.

Which amendment challenges the death penalty?
No amendment "challenges" the death penalty. The 8th Amendment has been used as a legal basis for challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty. The argument is that the 8th Amendment prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment" and that the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment and therefore is prohibited by the US Constitution. This argument was successful in earlier cases, not because the death penalty itself was cruel and unusual but because of the way it was administered. The death penalty is allowed if it is administered without racial or ethnic bias and in a non-cruel manner.
