Amendment V

The Fifth Amendment dates back to the seventeenth century. It was first used in England to protect their citizens. The Fifth Amendment creates and states rights from criminal justice and civil legal rights. The Fifth Amendment can break down into the following five distinct constitutional rights: grand juries for capital crimes, a prohibition on double jeopardy, a prohibition against required self-incrimination, a guarantee that all criminal defendants will have a fair trial, and a promise that the government will not seize private property without paying market value. (Fifth Amendment)

To begin with, the Fifth Amendment is designed to protect us basically the same way the English used it to protect them, but what it might not do is give us justice. Criminal justice is always substantial to get taken care of, but what if the Fifth Amendment may not get that taken care of. One of the cases is double jeopardy, which states no person should be subjected for the same offense and put in harm in prison or limb. This could be bad for the U.S. citizens but good for the criminal. The criminal could have done something bad for a second time but the Fifth Amendment protects the criminal from being in jail or prosecuted by limb.
