Which amendment of the constitution does it state that no one will be forced to acuse themselfs?

Question

i have a Civics competition tomorrow and it just totaly spaced my mind!

Answer 1

Actually, the Fifth is the wrong answer. The correct response to the question is "who is doing the questioning?"

The Fifth only protects the right against self-incrimination before the FEDERAL government.

Between the individual and a state (like Arizona), that right is found in the Fourteenth Amendment.

Glance at the case of Miranda vs. Arizona, among others.

Answer 2

The 5th Amendment protects against self-incrimination.

Answer 3

The 5th amendment guards against self incrimination

Answer 4

Article the seventh... No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Answer 5

You may have heard people in court pleading the 5th. It means you don't have to testify about anything which would make you look guilty or you don't have to testify to confess something. You plead the 5th and seek legal council.
