The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, including the death penalty, for certain crimes such as murder. However, it is important to note that some states still allow the death penalty and it has been a source of much debate and controversy. The other options (Miranda, Fifth Amendment, and Habeas Corpus) do not directly relate to the death penalty.
