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.

How is Earth's hydrosphere and geosphere<br> (its solid material) interact as a river forms and ages
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The hydrosphere, including all the waters on the Earth’s surface, is interconnected with the other ‘spheres’ in the Earth system, that is the geosphere (lithosphere and atmosphere), the biosphere, and the human-related anthroposphere. Water, the most widespread substance in the environment of our planet, is available, in liquid, solid, and vapor states, everywhere on Earth, albeit its abundance largely differs in space and time. Quantitative estimates of availability of water (and in particular, freshwater) in different Earth’s water stores (reservoirs) are given.

Which organization best completes the diagram showing the structure of the legislative branch of the US government?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The options for this question are:

<em>A) Congress</em>

<em>B) Select comittee</em>

<em>C) Party Caucus</em>

<em>D) Legislative district</em>

The correct answer is A.

The House of Representatives and the Senate make up Congress. Congress is a bicameral body that forms the legislative branch of the US government.

The House of Representatives is made up of 435 representatives and the Senate is made up of 100 representatives.

This bicameral organization originated in the Connecticut Compromise during the Constitutional Convention (1787) to resolve the problem of representation in Congress. This was made to balance the tensions in representation caused by different numbers in population and different economic powers of the states.
