FIFTH AMENDMENT

-

 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 offence 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 amendment is stating that without a crime or a jury we shouldn't be held to answer for a capital, except if you are causing public issues. It is also stating that no private property or liberty can be taken without reason. 



I chose this video because it states why the fifth amendment is important, it stops the government from being excessive with justification and punishment. 




This photo proves that the victim can't be charged without proof and the victim also can't be over punished for his or her crime. This protects citizens from over doing in the courts.
