Answer:

c) 5th & 6th

Step-by-step explanation:

Ernesto Miranda claimed that the rights found in the "5TH and 6TH" Amendments were violated in 1963.

This is because, during the arrest of Ernesto Miranda, throughout his interrogation that lasted for about 2 hours, police failed to advise Miranda on his constitutional rights to a lawyer (6th amendment) nor against self-incrimination (5th amendment).

Hence, in his defense, he claimed that submitting his admission as evidence violated his constitutional rights under the 5th and 6th Amendments.
