Question
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.
this is the first in a series of amendments addressing the rights of citizens when facing prosecution.
this amendment prohibits jailing individuals without charging them publicly with a crime. it forbids trying someone twice for the same crime, which is known as double jeopardy. scholars and lawyers have also used the phrase
o person shall be...deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law\ as the basis for the idea that someone is innocent until proven guilty. the phrase \innocent until proven guilty,\ however, does not appear in the constitution.
this amendment also prohibits self - incrimination. the responsibility of proving guilt falls to the prosecution, not the person who is accused of the crime. this is where the famous phrase \i plead the fifth\ comes from. it translates to, \i decline to answer this question where the answer might incriminate me.\
based on the passage, if a person \incriminates\ herself, she
a makes herself appear guilty
b deprives someone of freedom
c proves that shes innocent
d answers a question willingly
