Description
[|The Whole Process Of The Fifth Amendment]
 * The Fifth amendment says that no one can be tried for a serious crime unless accused by a Grand Jury. The police can not take away that person's right to an attorney,  their right to not be deprived of their life, liberty, or property, unless the person is given money for the property. **
 * The Fifth amendment was suggested into the Bill of Rights on September 5, 1789 and was voted for by 3/4 of the states on December 15, 1791.
 * Due Process is where everyone is treated the same way. It doesn't matter who you are you will always get treated the same way as everyone else.
 * The Fifth amendment is divided up into five clauses, just like the first amendment. The First clause says that no person can be held accountable for a crime unless found out by a Grand Jury. The second clause is called a "double jeopardy." This clause protects people from not having to go into a second trial about the same crime. The third clause is called the "self-incrimination" clause. This clause tells people that they cannot be accused of committing a crime until testifying against themselves. The fourth clause is referred to as the "Due Process". This is the clause that protects the citizens life, liberty and property from being taken by the government. The last clause is called the "Takings." This clause tells the government that they cannot take property without giving the owner money for it. This is the fifth amendment.

**Historical Applications ** [|The fifth amendment was changed when the Supreme Court decided that "everything you don't say can and will be used against you."] These decisions made by the supreme court have made changes to the later life. If we still had the right to talk without it being held against us in a crime scene, then we would be saying things we probably shouldn't have said. I think this change was for the good because now people can say what they want to but also be held accountable for it. The fifth amendment is defined as part of the Bill of rights. It is an amendment that tells the people that they do get to keep things for themselves. The people's life, liberty, and property. That cannot be taken away from them.

Today's Application
The Fifth amendment is still applied today, but in different ways. The fifth amendment continues to be special in very different ways. Americans are protected from being trialed more than once for the same crime, and they can thank the fifth amendment for that. The fifth amendment is still applied to society today because it protects Americans from being tried for the same thing repeatedly. For example in 1996, the U.S. Supreme court decided the case od Miranda vs. Arizona, was now open. They told Miranda you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can ad will be used against you, you have a right to an attorney, and if you cannot afford an attorney then one will be appointed. But when the case got started, no one had told Dan that he had a right to remain silent. So when the police started asking questions he confessed and said that he did commit the robbery and the money was buried in his backyard. Well if he would have known about the fifth amendment, he would have made that court session last longer and he might have won. This is why people have to know about the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. So when they are going into court, they know what they are up against.
