Answer:

c- the eighth amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

The Amendment that people use to argue against the death penalty is the Eight Amendment (The first ten Amendments are part of the Bill of rights). This amendment prohibits "cruel or unusual punishment" and people argue that death is an example of such a cruel and unusual punishment.
