Self-incrimination protects individuals from being compelled to testify against themselves in a way that could lead to criminal charges. This right, enshrined in the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, ensures that individuals cannot be forced to provide evidence or statements that could be used to establish their guilt in a criminal case. It is a safeguard against coercive interrogation tactics and helps maintain the principle that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution.
