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.

Answer:    D. Priest, Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal, Pope

Explanation:  Offered options are related to the hierarchy in the Roman Catholic Church. The mentioned hierarchy refers to the church authority, in this case from the lowest to the highest. Church authority is divided according to ranks, so the priest performs priestly duties of masses, church rituals, etc. within the parish in which he has jurisdiction. The bishop is in charge, besides church duties, to oversee the diocese, which is a collection of several parishes. The collection of more bishops is the archdiocese of which the archbishop is responsible. Cardinal is the rank, which is usually obtained by the Pope choosing a bishop or archbishop who is promoted to the cardinal. The Pope is the supreme undignified authority of the Roman Catholic Church
