In Miranda v Arizona the Supreme Court ruled that Miranda's rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments had been violated. The 5th Amendment states that no person shall be compelled to be a witness against himself in any criminal case. The 6th provides that the defendant shall have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
The 6th Amendment contains five principles that affect the rights of a defendant in a criminal prosecution: the right to a speedy and public trial, the right to be tried by an impartial jury, the right to be informed of the charges, the right to confront and call witnesses, and the right to an attorney.
In Brown v Mississippi (1936) the Court ruled the 5th protected defendants from forced confessions. In Gideon v Wainwright (1963) the Court held that persons who have been accused of felonies have a right to an attorney even if they can't afford one. In Escobedo v Illinois (1964) the Court ruled that when a person is denied legal counsel their 6th Amendment right to counsel is violated.
In 1965 the Court decided to hear Miranda's case and combined it with several others. The decision was handed down in 1966 and the case came to be generally known as the Miranda case. The ruling came to be known as the Miranda rights. The Miranda warning informs a person of their 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination and the 6th Amendment right to counsel.
