Answer:

The fundamental question raised in the Miranda v. Arizona case was in regard to the role of police played to protect the fundamental rights of a defendant as provided in the Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miranda v. Arizona was case considered as a historic event in decision making in the Supreme Court of the United States. The case was filed by Esterno Miranda, who was charged with the crime of kidnapping and ra-pe, in 1963. While in custody, Miranda was not informed by police about his rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, which gives defendant rights to give testimony in the presence of an attorney.

After Miranda became aware of his rights he filed his petition which was heard in the Supreme Court of the United States in 1966 by Chief Justice Warren. According to Chief Justice Warren, the question raised by this case about the American justice system was how police plays a role in protecting the rights of a defendant of self-incrimination provided in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, while a defendant is in custody.
