According to the Fifth Amendment, law enforcement has to inform people when arresting them that they have the right to remain silent. Which constitutional protection would a police officer violate by failing to do this?

The Fifth Amendment protects people from being compelled to incriminate themselves, and due process requires fair treatment under the law. When a person is in custody and is to be questioned, police must explain the right to remain silent before interrogation. Failing to give that warning can violate the person’s due-process protections; free speech, jury trial, and fair hearings do not describe this protection.
