...Can't say that I'm surprised.

What was the reason behind the 5th Amendment?

Was it to stop torture?

5th Amendment

"Private property was the original source of freedom. It still is its main bullwark"
Walter Lippman
"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 Fifth Amendment was written to protect an accused from abuses witnessed throughout history, including in the early days of Colonial America. The founding fathers wished to ensure that, while trials could be conducted and guilty criminals punished, innocent men and women wouldn't suffer by mere government whim. Sufficient evidence of criminal conduct would have to be presented to a Grand Jury; the government couldn't repeatedly try an individual on the same charges until he or she was either convicted or financially exhausted; it couldn't demand answers from the accused, but rather would have to provide sufficient evidence to convict without such testimony; and it couldn't simply snatch property it wanted or needed from its owner.

Protection from government torture.

Protection from government torture.

Umm, ok. :rolleyes:

[hermhater]

Umm, ok. :rolleyes:

Government taking away your livelihood.

I guess it's not physical torture, but it's the same concept.

Prosecutors can't crush your ribs to make you confess, that is what I was referring to kind of.

[Chiefster]

This is what I was referring to:

The making of statements that might expose you to criminal prosecution, either now or in the future. The 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from forcing you to provide evidence (as in answering questions) that would or might lead to your prosecution for a crime.

AKA: Self Incrimination.
