Answer from: AM28

The answer is A. People are protected from having to testify against themselves to avoid self incrimination. The Fifth Amendment also makes it so people are not forces to testify against themselves. Due process is another part of the Fifth Amendment which means that a person can not be legally questioned without a reason.

Answer from: aspenwheeler6804

The Fifth Amendment from the US Constitution protects people from having to:

(A) Testify against themselves in court.

Further explanation

Not to testify against yourself, self-incrimination, means that anyone is allowed to remain silent in case of arrest or judgement. It allows the person judged not to risk speaking too fast or to give false information because of fear or panic that can be felt during an interrogation. Sometimes you have to keep quiet and let the lawyer talk because he is trained to find the right word to use to convince the judges. On the other hand, the police have many techniques to force people to reveal all kinds of things, the possibility of not incriminating themselves is good security in this kind of situation.

This provision is not the only one of the 5th Amendment, which was promulgated in order to protect the citizen against the abuses of the authority of the government during the trials. It also helps to prevent someone from being tried twice for the same crime. When justice has done, the decision is final. It is not possible to return to the same subject later and thus risk to change the conclusions of a case, by asking questions differently to put the accused in a difficult position for example. This is called double incrimination.
