That's because the island was invaded by pretty much everyone even though it was originally a French colony. British and Spanish armies also intervened and every time that the people would win and take control of the island, the French would just send numerous new soldiers to retake it. Just during Napoleon's era, 50 000+ soldiers died from yellow fever only.

The correct answer is D) Applies to federal government .

The 5th amendment gives American citizens important protections. This includes the right of an individual to protect themself from self incrimination, prevention of being tried for the exact same crime twice (aka double jeopardy), and the right to know what you are being charged with (also known as Miranda rights). This amendment was intended to protect citizens from the federal government and was also aimed at limiting the power of the federal government in general.
