Technically the United States Constitution does not go against capital punishment per se. The Constitution prevents people from receiving cruel and unusual punishment. As far as the death penalty goes it is debated by many if it in fact is cruel and unusual. It can be argued that it is cruel and unusual because the system is biased so that more African Americans and more people will be executed.
