PLZ CHECK MY WORK :)
Why does the Fifth Amendment matter today?
It prevents people accused of crimes from being sent far away to plead their case alone in front of a single judge.<
@Aureyliant
The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides, "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."
so A?
Based on this… what do you think the U.S would be like without it?
the judge could be biased and sentence accused criminals to jailtime, when it isnt fair??
The govt. has to prove in court that your are actually guilty.
