The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution dictates that no civilian shall be charged with a capital crime unless a Grand Jury agrees to charge them, that no person can be charged with the same crime twice, that you don’t have to testify against yourself, that you will not lose your life, liberty, or property without due process, and that your private property will not be taken for public use without just compensation. The former Colonies had witnessed far too many public show trials courtesy of the British, and they did not intend to witness the like again in their lands.
