Bartolome de Las Casas
Bartolome de las Casa was a Dominican friar and social reformer who fought for the rights of Native Americans under Spanish rule. He went before Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor to plead against slavery in the colonies. Ironically, his compassion was only for the Native slaves, and he was in part responsible for the transatlantic slave trade.
Spain was blamed. It plead not guilty.
The right to plead the fifth to protect oneself rather than the protection of others was ratified in 1791.
