No.Added: If you do not wish to answer a question put to you in court you must plead the Fifth Amendment (self-incrimination) as the reason.The reason you don't always have the right to remain silent is that it comes from your right not to be forced to incriminate yourself under the Fifth Amendment. If the government promises you immunity from prosecution for any crime committed by you that would be revealed by your testimony, you no longer have the right to remain silent because you would not be incriminating yourself.
You have the right to remain silent (protection against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment).You have the right to consult with an attorney and to have an attorney present during questioning (right to counsel under the Sixth Amendment).If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you (Sixth Amendment right to counsel applied via the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses).

There is no "Miranda Rights" amendment.What are known as the Miranda warning (it's not a unique right) are derived from a court case, Miranda v Arizona, which apply to protections afforded under the 5th and 6th amendment. The right to remain silent protects people from self incriminating themselves, which is in the 5th amendment. The right to an attorney, and a fair trial, come from the 6th. A Miranda Warning is a notification by the police of your rights under the 5th and 6th Amendments, specifically as to applying them while in police custody.
Miranda V. Arizona (1966) a person taken into custody by the police must be warned that (1) he has the right to remain silent (2) anything he says can be used against him in court (3) he has the right to the presence of an attorney and (4) if he cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for him if he so desires.

Yes. Miranda v. Arizona, (1966) was primarily a Fifth Amendment case requiring police to inform anyone in their custody of their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent (under the self-incrimination clause), but also invoked the Sixth Amendment right to an attorney before being interrogated and during questioning, unless the detainee waives that right.The decision in Miranda was applied to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause.
