The Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause applies to the federal government, while the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause applies to state governments. Like the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment includes a due process clause stating that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". The Fifth Amendment also contains the Takings Clause, which allows the federal government to take private property for public use if the government provides "just compensation". Arizona, the Supreme Court held that the Self-Incrimination Clause requires the police to issue a Miranda warning to criminal suspects interrogated while in police custody. "Pleading the Fifth" is a colloquial term often used to invoke the Self-Incrimination Clause when witnesses decline to answer questions where the answers might incriminate them. The Self-Incrimination clause provides various protections against self-incrimination, including the right of an individual not to serve as a witness in a criminal case in which he or she is a defendant. Another provision, the Double Jeopardy Clause, provides the right of defendants to be tried only once in federal court for the same offense. One provision of the Fifth Amendment requires that felonies be tried only upon indictment by a grand jury. The Supreme Court furthered the protections of this amendment through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fifth Amendment applies to every level of the government, including the federal, state, and local levels, in regard to any "person". It was ratified, along with nine other articles, in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights. The Fifth Amendment ( Amendment V) to the United States Constitution creates several constitutional rights, limiting governmental powers regarding both criminal procedure and civil matters.
