The Right against self-incrimination is protected by which amendment to the US Constitution?

The fifth amendment applies to self incrimination in court. What it basically says is that you can not be called as a witness against yourself. You can choose to testify in your own defense but you are essentially waiving your 5th amendment right so it would no longer apply. Saying, "I plead the 5th," in court doesnt work. If you put yourself on the stand you've already waived that right. Miranda "rights" are from Miranda V Arizona and only apply when you are in custody and being interrogated. Miranda isn't covered by the constitution and it comes from case law (why I put "rights" in quotes).

Why do we have the first amendment?

The first amendment (known as the Bill of Rights) was a compromise between Federalist states and Anti-Federalist states, therefore allowing the new Constitution to be passed. Anti-Federalist wanted rights and restrictions to be put on the Constitution because there was no guarantee to them. Federalists argued that the rights listed were implied. Obviously the Anti-Federalists got what they wanted.


Why was the Bill of Rights put into the constitution?

I believe the Bill of Rights was put in the Constitution to satisfy the anti-federalist.

Why are US presidents allowed to pardon convicted criminals without a review by any other legal body or individual?

This is one of the powers given to the executive in the Constitution. It could be changed with an amendment. However, it is a good example of the many "checks and balances" that the founders put into the Constitution to protect against any person or branch having too much power. This power certainly is not something that presidents just decided to do.
