Answer:

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides that individuals cannot be compelled to be a witness against themselves in a criminal case, may not be tried for the same offense twice, or be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides, "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 offense 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."

Explanation:

The clauses incorporated within the Fifth Amendment outline basic constitutional limits on police procedure. The Framers derived the Grand Juries Clause and the Due Process Clause from the Magna Carta, dating back to 1215. Scholars consider the Fifth Amendment as capable of breaking down into the following five distinct constitutional rights: 1) right to indictment by the grand jury before any criminal charges for felonious crimes, 2) a prohibition on double jeopardy, 3) a right against forced self-incrimination, 4) a guarantee that all criminal defendants have a fair trial, and 5) a guarantee that government cannot seize private property without making a due compensation at the market value of the property.

While the Fifth Amendment originally only applied to federal courts, the U.S. Supreme Court has partially incorporated the 5th amendment to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The right to indictment by the Grand Jury has not been incorporated, while the right against double jeopardy, the right against self-incrimination, and the protection against arbitrary taking of private property without due compensation have all been incorporated to the states.

Although the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was friendly during the time of World War two, the Soviet Union and the US were allied during World War two, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany. this is because their alliance was essential to defeating Nazi Germany, as the US and Great Britain both needed a strong power at the eastern frontiers of Germany to secure Nazi defeat. At this point in the war, it was beneficial for both the soviet union and the united states to enter into an alliance with each other since the Soviet Union was under attack by the Nazis, and the United States and its allies needed another strong ally.  it seems like both countries had trouble accepting the ideology of the other, as they each had completly different political policies and types of governments, but were trying to attempt accepting each other for the sake of defeating the Nazis and ending the war on the European frontier. This relationship between the two nations, and the shared sacrifices, eventually led to the end of world two in the western frontier as Germany was drained on both fronts. This relationship that was based on benefit would end the war, as the two nations will have different opinions regarding postwar issues.
