The stipulation requiring that accused persons be informed of their right to remain silent stems from the U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona (1966). This decision established the "Miranda Rights," which mandate that individuals in custody must be informed of their rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney, to ensure they are not compelled to incriminate themselves. This safeguard is rooted in the Fifth Amendment, which protects against self-incrimination.

The case Miranda v. Arizona established the requirement that individuals taken into police custody must be informed of their rights to remain silent and to have legal counsel present during questioning. This ruling aimed to protect the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. By ensuring that suspects are aware of these rights, the decision helps prevent coercive interrogation practices and upholds the principle of fair legal representation for accused persons. The "Miranda warnings" are now a critical component of law enforcement procedures in the U.S.

The Bill of Rights is intended to unequivocally protect civil rights and to restrain the state (and its instruments such as the police). Amendment IV protects those in lineups and interrogations against arbitrary detention, search and seizure without due cause, or warrant. Those detained (or not) also have the Amendment V rights to remain silent and refuse questioning. Amendment VI guarantees them the right to an attorney, and to know the charges placed against them. Amendment VIII protects the detained from excess bail and torture, which can and have been used to illicit false confessions.
The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution protects the individual against self-incrimination. The government cannot force you to testify against yourself in any case for which you might be criminally charged.
