The answer is: 8th Amendment (to the Constitution of the United States).

this Amendment explicitly prohibits too high bail, but also too high fines, cruel and unusual punishment - and it is this amendment that the opponents of death penalty often invoke, is it would be "cruel and unusual punishment).
