Question 18 • Civics and Government

Which of these statements describes a Fifth Amendment protection?

Answer
A
In certain cases, the government may seize someone’s property without payment.
B
No one can be tried twice for the same crime.
C
Searches and seizures must be based on probable cause.
D
A warrant must be issued before the police can search someone’s property.

Explanation

The Fifth Amendment protects people from double jeopardy, meaning they generally cannot be tried twice for the same crime. That makes “No one can be tried twice for the same crime” the correct statement. Warrants and probable cause are protections associated with the Fourth Amendment, while the Fifth Amendment generally requires payment when the government takes private property for public use.
