Is corporal punishment related to the establishment clause?
No. Physical punishment is NOT related to the ban on establishing a religion in the U.S. One can argue that the ban on 'cruel and unusual punishments' in effect bans all forms of physical punishment.

No, the American Civil Liberties Union is opposed to capital punishment in all cases. The ACLU believes that the capital punishment system is discriminatory and violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution which bans cruel and unusual punishment.

Are teenagers sentence to Death Row?
In the USNo. The US Supreme Court ruled in Roper v. Simmons,(2005) that it is unconstitutional to execute an offender for crimes committed while under the age of 18.This overturned two relatively recent rulings in Thompson v. Oklahoma, 487 US 815 (1988) and Stanford v. Kentucky,492 US 361 (1989) that declared executing someone for capital crimes committed while under the age of 16 was a violation of the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, but that executing someone who was at least 16 at the time the crime was committed was constitutional.The decision in Roper v. Simmons, (2005), overturned death penalty laws in 25 states.The last known execution of a juvenile in the US was 17-year-old Leonard Shockley, who was put to death in 1959.The last person to be executed for a crime committed as a juvenile was Scott Allen Hain, in 2003.IranIran has over 100 people on deathrow for crimes as a juvenile. Some are still not even 18, but the exact ages of all are not readily available because of that country's opaqueness in judicial process. The country continues to violate a UN treaty it signed which explicitly bans such execution, yet the country's judicial system claims a loophole in which "these are not technically executions, but [repayment killings] by the victim's family" and are "protected under Islamic law".
Does the Constitution permit the death penalty?
The death penalty is mentioned three times in the Fifth Amendment:"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."1. A "capital" crime is one whose punishment may include death.2. To have one's life put in jeopardy for a crime is likewise a reference to the death penalty.3. And, finally, to be deprived of life (but only with due process of law) is again a reference to the death penalty.One may certainly still argue that the death penalty is not a good deterrent, that it is racially biased in its application, or that we nowadays regard the death penalty as cruel. I think all three of those are true.Still, the death penalty is definitely in the constitution, referred to no less than three times, and it's even in the Bill of Rights.
