Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.


The 5th Amendment protects people from being held against their will for committing a crime unless they are properly accused of a crime. It also protects people from double jepardy, someone may not be tried twice for the same crime and also that you cannot be forced to testify against yourself, and from property being taken without just compensation.

This video is suppose to be a funny comment on how you cannot, according to our fifth amendment, require someone to incriminate themselves.
