Proponents of the Death Penalty will argue that it is beneficial for at least two reasons. The first is that it prevents any further crimes from being committed by the alleged perpetrator. The second is that it serves as a strong deterrent to those considering indulging in violent (or other serious) crimes: the potential penalty of death will lead many such persons to choose not to commit offenses.

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.
