Answer: A. The Fifth Amendment protects against imprisonment without due process of law.

C. The Fourth Amendment prevents police from conducting searches without probable cause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fourth constitutional amendment is responsible for preventing the arrest of the offenders as it the police does not receive the immediate and potent authentication from the higher authorities to search and seizure any of the evidences that are relevant to lead a case against the offender before it could be presented in the court of law and help in conviction and sentencing the offender immediately. The fifth amendment is responsible for protecting the offenders from being in the imprisonment without the police having the proof which lead to arrest but in the case of heinous offences an offender is immediately arrested.
