The American Constitution doesn't prevent the Death Penalty, which is not the same as supporting.
Another View: The US Constitution does not address Capital Punishment anywhere in the document. The only restriction on any type of punishment that is addressed in the Constitution is a prohibition agaionst "cruel and unusual punishment."

What permits states to manage their international offairs?
In the United States, the management of many of the internal affairs of a US State, exist because the US Constitution specifies the areas of Federal concern and duties. The Constitution also states that whatever is not specified in it, is left for the individual States to decide. Thus as one example, the Constitution forbids unusual or cruel punishments, however, if a State chooses to enact a death penalty law in its penal code, that's an internal State affair. The death penalty law however, must be in line with the Constitution. Also, if a State chooses NOT to have a death penalty, then that's fine as well as the US Constitution does not instruct States that they must have a death penalty.
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.

Criminals will fear the idea of the death penalty and will therefore not commit murders.
