'I plead the fifth' is a term used for citing the right to decline a question if their own answers might incriminate or enmesh themselves into a bad situation. This is generally used to be free of any penalties rather than taking the risks of answering a question you might not want to expose. Someone might say this statement if they do not want to reply to a question that will make them come off as bad or petty.

The 5th ammendment in the constitution gives every American the right to refuse to answer questions or testify against themselves if the answer may incriminate them. The 5th ammendment protects people from having to testify in court on their own behalf. However once a person agrees th testify on their behalf they have to answer the questions during cross examination.

For what reasons could Thailand be described as a developing country in the 1970s? In what ways was it able to change?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

In the 1970s, Thailand had a very low GDP Per Capita. In 1970, Thailand's GDP Per Capita was only 192 dollars. For comparison, the U.S. GDP Per Capita in the same year was 5.247 dollars.

Besides, in the 1970s, Thailand was a monarchy where the king at the time: king Bhumibol Adulyadej, had effective powers over the people. Not all monarchies are developing countries, but monarchies and dictatorships tend to be poorer because of the lack of independent judiciary and enforcement of property rights which disincentivizes investment and economic growth.
