The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is a very significant part of the Bill of Rights and the American justice system. In criminal cases, the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, forbids double jeopardy, necessitates due process of law, and protects against self-incrimination. The Fifth Amendment ensures that Americans benefit from a balanced and accountable justice system. Through this book, readers learn the essential reasons for the creation of the Fifth Amendment and explore the provisions of the amendment through historical examples.
