Question

An example of due process of law as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment is

O being able to call and question witnesses.
O ensuring trials follow certain procedures and rules.
O owning guns and other weapons.
O having reasonable suspicion that someone is guilty.

Answer 1

• Ensuring trials follow certain procedures and rules.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution allows defendants to have the right to a fair trial and protects them against the government. Be able to have a jury trial is not the only right that the fifth amendment provides. It allows two other important things too such as:

• The prohibition to be judged twice for the same crime;

• To have to testify against oneself.

• This right is a great democratic advance. It protects American citizens from corruption. The judgments made by one man, who may be wrong or decide to make the wrong decision, are more likely to be unfair than collective judgments.
