To invoke the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination during a legal proceeding, a person simply needs to state that they are invoking their right to remain silent under the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This means they do not have to answer any questions that may incriminate them.

When you use the constitution to remain silent?

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects an individual from self-incrimination, allowing them to remain silent during police questioning. This right ensures that individuals cannot be forced to testify against themselves in a criminal proceeding. By invoking this right, a person can protect themselves from potentially providing evidence that could be used against them in court.

What amendment was not violated by the Japanese internment?

The Japanese internment during World War II did not violate the Second Amendment, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. While the internment involved the forced relocation and incarceration of Japanese Americans, it primarily infringed upon rights protected by the First Amendment (freedom of speech and religion) and the Fifth Amendment (due process). The Second Amendment's focus on the right to bear arms was not directly implicated in the actions taken against Japanese Americans during this period.
