Answer:

Grand Jury, Double Jeopardy, Self-Incrimidation, Due Process, and Compensation

Step-by-step explanation:

Grand Jury: Simply, you won't have biased people deciding wether you're guilty or not. For example, teachers won't be your jury if you're being testified as a child predator, because they'll obviously be biased.

Double Jeopardy: Basically, once you're proven innocent, you can't be tried again. As in, once your innocent your innocent, they can't keep coming after you again and again until proven guilty.

Self-Incrimidation: "You have the right to remain silent." Does that phrase sound familar? It basically relates to your Miranda Rights. Don't have to say anything you don't want to say.

Due Process: Generally, Due Process protects your rights. You can defend yourself in court, the right to Life Liberty, Happiness. Specific reason for arresting you.

Compensation: Government can take your land if they have a good enough reason/warrent.

Hope this helps! I put it in a nutshell, so maybe check notes or possibly an online textbook if you still need help. <3
