5th Amendment- Discussion

This amendment describes or rights and course of action against the judicial and the legislative enforcement. It serves the strong for what is known as the Miranda rights. Specifically the "right to remain silent" which is drawn directly from the passage, "nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." The 5th amendment also serves to strengthen the 4th amendment making clear that "[no person] be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." Mostly this Amendment serves to define actions within and around courts, such as the ability to not testify against oneself in a court of law and not being tried twice for the same offense (also known as double jeopardy). As all of the first ten Amendments do the 5th describes the basic "inalienable" rights of the citizens of the United States.
