Question

Which right is protected by the 5th amendment?

a. the right to avoid taxes that oppose one's religious beliefs
b. the right to face an accuser in court
c. the right to postpone a trial that interferes with employment
Please explain!!!!

Answer 1

The Fifth Amendment creates a number of rights relevant to both criminal and civil legal proceedings. In criminal cases, the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, forbids “double jeopardy,” and protects against self-incrimination.

So B.

Even without explanation, the other two answers are wrong. Taxes are a part of life (unfortunately) and if you are being arrested you job cannot interfere, for crime has a higher priority.
