Summary "The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is a very significant part of the Bill of Rights and the American justice system. In criminal cases, the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, forbids double jeopardy, necessitates due process of law, and protects against self-incrimination. The Fifth Amendment ensures that Americans benefit from a balanced and accountable justice system." -- provided by publisher
