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.

What is one thing that the American government does that limits "freedom of the press"?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

One thing that the American government does that limits "freedom of the press" is that they monitor public airwaves and revokes a station's licenses if certain rules aren't followed. Thus, option 'A' is the correct option.

<h3>What do you mean by "freedom of the press"?</h3>

The essential tenet of freedom of the press or freedom of the media is that speech and communication through a variety of media, including written and electronic media, especially published information, should be seen as a right to be freely practised. Such freedom denotes the lack of interference from a power-hungry state; its maintenance may be sought through a constitution or other forms of security and legal protection.

Any government may choose which items are public or secret, without regard to information held by that government. The categorization of information as sensitive, secret, or classified, or the information's importance to safeguarding the national interest, are the two reasons why state materials are safeguarded.
