Question 28 • AP US Government and Politics

Which of the following protections is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights?

Answer
A
refusing to testify after witnessing a crime
B
resisting arrest if the cause appears to be unjust
C
fleeing from law enforcement for fear of one’s safety
D
refusing to speak to a police officer without an attorney present

Explanation

The Fifth Amendment protects a person from being forced to incriminate themselves, and the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to an attorney in criminal proceedings. A person who is being questioned may invoke the right to remain silent and request an attorney. The Bill of Rights does not generally protect refusing to testify as a witness, resisting arrest, or fleeing from law enforcement.
