What does the 5th amendment protect against?

  1. Self-incrimination

  2. Excessive fines

  3. Quartering of soldiers

  4. Unlawful search and seizure

The correct answer is: Self-incrimination

The 5th amendment protects against self-incrimination, which means an individual cannot be forced to testify against themselves in a criminal case. Option B, excessive fines, is protected by the 8th amendment. Option C, quartering of soldiers, is protected by the 3rd amendment. Option D, unlawful search and seizure, is protected by the 4th amendment. Therefore, these options are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the protection against self-incrimination.
