Question 17 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which shows how Supreme Court rulings have modified the Fifth Amendment?

Answer
A
Officers may create different sets of rules to apply to groups of citizens as they please.
B
Officers must inform people of their rights before questioning them in custody.
C
Officers can pressure a person to confess to a crime.
D
Officers can inform suspects of their rights at any point in the questioning process.

Explanation

In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled that police must tell people in custody about their rights before interrogating them. These warnings include the right to remain silent and the right to have an attorney, protecting the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Therefore, the correct choice is “Officers must inform people of their rights before questioning them in custody.”
