Florida Animal Control Officer Certification Practice Test

The 5th Amendment protects citizens against double jeopardy and self-incrimination.

4th Amendment 5th Amendment 6th Amendment 8th Amendment

Correct Answer:

5th Amendment

Explanation:

The protection against double jeopardy and self-incrimination comes from the Fifth Amendment. This amendment also covers due process and prohibits forcing someone to testify against themselves, as well as preventing being tried twice for the same offense after a conviction or acquittal. The other amendments deal with different rights: the Fourth Amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures; the Sixth secures the right to a speedy, public trial with counsel and an impartial jury; the Eighth forbids cruel or unusual punishment. So the statement points to the Fifth Amendment as the source.
