One situation would be the double-jeopardy. It is a situation when the country wants to put you on trial multiple times. According to the fifth amendment, a federal court can't put you on trial multiple times for the same offense. This is done to prevent having the federal court put you on trial until the jury decides that you're guilty. If a case is acquitted then there can be no retrial.

Another situation is self-incrimination. If you know what you've done or haven't done and you don't want to talk about it then you don't have to talk about it. The amendment protects you from having to divulge information that might incriminate you even further. It is your right to remain silent.

Another situation is having a grand jury. Only a grand jury may indict a person. In a real life situation, a court might decide to decide that you're guilty and punish you without a jury in case you were a political opponent or something similar. This is unconstitutional and illegal and the fifth amendment protects you from it.

How does the international trade affect the United States and other countries?
Julli [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The only way to boost exports is to make trade easier overall. Governments do this by reducing tariffs and other blocks to imports. That reduces jobs in domestic industries that can't compete on a global scale. It also leads to job outsourcing. That's when companies relocate call centers, technology offices, and manufacturing. They choose countries with a lower cost of living.
