The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution includes the principle of "double jeopardy," which protects individuals from being tried twice for the same offense after being found not guilty. This means that if a person is acquitted of a crime, they cannot be retried for that same crime in the future. The Fifth Amendment ensures the right to due process and safeguards against the government's misuse of legal power.
