Should the death penalty be a law in Canada?
There are more cons. It doesn't matter how much money death penalty vs. no death penalty costs, because you can't put a value on innocent human life. Killing the murderer won't bring the victim back, but using the death penalty will occasionally result in an innocent person being executed. Since the death penalty inevitably results in a net loss of innocent life it is unjustified. If it was possible to know 100% then I'd have no problem with the death penalty, but it's not possible. It actually costs more to kill the criminal than to keep the criminal in prison for life. At least in Canada during the late 50s into the 60s most people were against the death penalty, but that has changed a great deal now. Most Canadians are for the death penalty if it is warranted to fit the crime of taking another's life. Also keeping prisoners costs the tax payers a great deal of money, so murders are of no use to society. Canada is fighting for stricter laws all the way around and not just including murder.

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.
