The 5th Amendment states that a person can be tried for a serious federal crime only if he or she has been indicted (charged, accused of that crime) by a grand jury. No one may be subjected to double jeopardy - that is, tried twice for the same crime. All persons are protected against self-incrimination; no person can be legally compelled to answer any question in any governmental proceeding if that answer could lead to that person's prosecution. The 5th Amendment's Due Process Clause prohibits unfair, arbitrary actions by the Federal Government.

6th amendment
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition the government. In criminal cases, it plays a crucial role by safeguarding the rights of defendants, ensuring they can express their views, seek a fair trial, and assemble peacefully. Additionally, it protects the press's ability to report on criminal proceedings, which promotes transparency and public scrutiny of the justice system. However, the First Amendment does not provide absolute protection, especially when speech conflicts with public safety or the rights of others.
