5th Amendment

The 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides several important legal protections. It ensures that individuals cannot be forced to testify against themselves in criminal cases, which supports the principle of not self-incriminating. It also guarantees due process, meaning fair treatment under the law, and protects against double jeopardy, preventing a person from being tried twice for the same crime. Additionally, it includes the right to compensation when the government takes private property for public use, known as eminent domain. Overall, the 5th Amendment safeguards individual rights within the legal system.
