The amendments to the Constitution contain the Miranda rights. The 5th amendment protects from self-incrimination, which is the right to remain silent. The 6th amendment asserts the right to an attorney, whether or not the suspect can afford one.
The case that brought about the Miranda Rights is called Miranda v. Arizona. Ernesto Miranda sued the state of Arizona for intimidation during interrogation. The judge ruled that had Miranda been informed of his rights, then the police couldn't have intimidated him.
The Supreme Court ruled defendants are entitled to legal representation.
Another answer:
The court ruled that before questioning a person accused of a crime must be made aware of his (or her) options in dealing with law enforcement so they can make informed decisions and not unwittingly act against their best interest.

That is why they are called Miranda warnings.
"Miranda rights" resulted from a 1966 Supreme Court decision in the case of Miranda v. Arizona.
"The right to remain silent" is one of the Miranda rights, established by the Supreme Court in 1966.
Miranda v. Arizona, (1966).
Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436 (1966)Miranda v. Arizona, (1966) was the landmark Supreme Court case in which the court declared that the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, (which also applies to the states through application of the Fourteenth Amendment) required that before law enforcement officers attempt to interrogate the accused, they inform the accused of their rights. These rights are now referred to as Miranda rights.

No, Miranda rights are specific to the United States only. Even if you have similar rights in another country, it is incorrect to call them "Miranda rights." The name "Miranda rights" comes from the US Supreme Court case "Miranda v. Arizona" which established that a person being questioned by the police must be advised of his or her right to have an attorney present, and of certain other rights.
The Miranda rights themselves are a part of the amendments to the Constitution. They became "the Miranda rights" and it was required that they be read to suspects in 1966. This was decided in the supreme court case Miranda v. Arizona.
Miranda v. Arizona
The Miranda Rights are an example of a supreme court precedent, set by a historic case in 1966. Before 1966 there was no national standard for informing a suspect of his rights. After the case, all law enforcement agencies adopted a policy of reading people their Miranda rights.
