Right of of the accused in a criminal case This amendment was created to clarify citizen's rights in court. It starts off saying that no person can be sent to court for a serious issue without prior approval from the Grand Jury. The only exception is with military and armed force cases. It then says that no man can be tried for the same conviction twice, except if the case is being brought to a different jurisdictional level, if the previous trial closed with mistrial or hung jury, or if evidence suggests fraud in the original trail. The famous saying "I plead the fifth" takes root in the Fifth Amendment, because it gives citizens the right to remain silent. This amendment goes on to state the Miranda Rule. Even though every citizen has rights, they may not always know them. In the past, citizens' lack of knowledge has been used against them, as police and other investigators pick out bits of information that suspects believe must be given. This rule states that the citizens' rights must be read to them before a case begins. ADDED: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on 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 offense 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."
