The 5th Amendment states that "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"

This is important as it means that, amongst other things, the Government can't make you provide testimony against yourself.

For instance, in Rochin v. California, the Supreme Court held that cops couldn't beat you until you vomited up the drugs you swallowed to hide from the cops. They ruled that the police officers violated the suspect's 5th amendment rights.

Answer:

Dred Scott case

Explanation:

The Dred Scott case happened in 1846, when a slave Dred Scott sued for his freedom. His master had brought him along on a trip to a territory where slavery was prohibited, and Scott said that by that right, he had become a free man. However, the Supreme Court upheld the practice of slavery, saying that slaves had no right to bring their cases to court, as they were considered sub-human. This decision stunned the nation, yet the Supreme Court stood by their choice.

Hope this helps!

Ano ang mitolohiya at katangian nito?​
babunello [35]

Answer:

Ang pag-aaral ng mga alamat ay kilala bilang mitolohiya.

Paliwanag:

ang mitolohiya ay tumutukoy sa pag-aaral ng mga sagradong kwento ng isang kultura na tumatalakay sa iba`t ibang mga aspeto ng kalagayan ng tao tulad ng mabuti at masama. Ang mga kuwentong ito ay hindi totoo sapagkat ang mga nilalang na naroroon sa mga alamat na ito ay hindi naroroon sa katotohanan. Mayroong iba't ibang mga tauhang ginamit sa mga alamat na ito, kung minsan ang mga hayop at iba pang mga bampira ng pagsuso ng dugo atbp. Kaya't ang mga alamat na ito ay walang kaugnayan sa katotohanan.
