The Fifth Amendment. In court, a defendant can say "I plead the Fifth" so they are not required to testify against themselves.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fifth Amendment

Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment was ratified in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights. This amendment focuses on criminal procedure, as well as civil proceedings. The amendment creates a number of rights, such as the right to a grand jury. It also prohibits double jeopardy and protects against self-incrimination. The Supreme Court has argued that the self-incrimination clause requires a Miranda warning to criminal suspects under police custody.
