Protects citizens against self-incrimination in the court of law and being forced to testify against themselves. This is shown in the Miranda rights: "You have the right to remain silent". This amendment also protects citizens from being tried for the same crime twice and states that the government must follow due process before depriving someone of life, liberty, or property. Additionally, the 5th Amendment protects citizens' private property with just compensation. The government can take private property for public use but must compensate the owner. Lastly, it says that serious crimes must be initiated by a grand jury. Except if it involves the military, is in a time of war, or threatens the safety of the public
