Question

For which two reasons are police officers who witness by crimes unable to arrest the suspects and immediately sentence them to prison terms?

The Sixth Amendment guarantees a speedy trial by a jury of one's peers.

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

The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive fines and punishments.

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

Answer 1

C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

One provision of the Fifth Amendment requires that felonies be tried only upon indictment by a grand jury. Another provision, the Double Jeopardy Clause, provides the right of defendants to be tried only once in federal court for the same offense. The self-incrimination clause provides various protections against self-incrimination, including the right of an individual to not serve as a witness in a criminal case in which they are the defendant. Due to the Eighth Amendment, excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
