Answer:

The fifth amendment talks about legal rights. It states that the rights of people who have been accused of a crime.

  1. Those accused of serious crimes have the right to grand jury.
  2. Prevents against double jeopardy or being put on trail for the same crime twice.
  3. Right to remain silent(People cannot be forced to testify against themselves.)
  4. Provides due process(procedures establishing a clear process for carrying out laws)
  5. Property protection meaning the government cannot take private property for public use.
