The answer is The 5th Amendment.

The 5th Amendment (1791) guarantees a person's right to go before a grand jury before she/he is accused of capital or serious crime, given the exception in cases arose in naval forces, or in the militia. it also protects a person from being prosecuted twice for the same offense, prohibits forcing people to witness against themselves during the trial and guarantees the due process of law for people.
