Answer:

Constitution's Fifth Amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

It gives the suspect the right to refuse "to be a witness against himself". Also "In criminal cases, the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, forbids “double jeopardy,” and protects against self-incrimination."

Hope this helps !
