For the first question: The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits cruel and unusual punishments, along with excessive bail and fines. Taxation is addressed in other constitutional provisions, voting rights are covered by amendments like the 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th.
For the second question: Debates about the death penalty focus on whether it constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment," which is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment. The First Amendment covers free speech/religion, the Fourteenth covers equal protection/due process, and the Fourth covers search and seizure, none of which are central to death penalty debates.
