Answer: Right to a jury trial, protection against double jeopardy (being charged twice for the same crime), protection against self-incrimination (right to remain silent), etc.

Explanation: The Fifth Amendment breaks down into five rights or protections: the right to a jury trial when you're charged with a crime, protection against double jeopardy, protection against self-incrimination, the right to a fair trial, and protection against the taking of property by the government without compensation
