The Warren Court

Question 9 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which statements describe the results of Miranda v. Arizona? Check all that apply.

Answer

Citizens are now protected from unlawful search and seizure because of this case.

Confessions given before citizens are read their rights may not be used in court.

Citizens must be told their rights immediately once in custody.

Attorneys will be provided only for defendants who commit specific crimes.

Confessions can be used as the only form of evidence in a trial.

Explanation

Miranda v. Arizona requires police to explain a person’s rights before custodial questioning, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Statements from questioning conducted without the required warnings generally cannot be used by the prosecution, so B and C describe the ruling. The case concerns questioning in custody, not unlawful searches and seizures, and it does not limit legal representation to people accused of specific crimes.
