Check all of the boxes that apply.

undergoing improper search and seizure

being forced to testify to prove their own guilt

being tried more than once for a crime

being prevented from bearing arms

Answer 1

The Fifth Amendment protects Americans against the following:

- **being forced to testify to prove their own guilt** (This is related to the protection against self-incrimination.)
- **being tried more than once for a crime** (This is known as double jeopardy.)

The Fifth Amendment does not directly address:

- **undergoing improper search and seizure** (This protection is found in the Fourth Amendment.)
- **being prevented from bearing arms** (This right is primarily protected by the Second Amendment.)

So the correct boxes to check are:

- being forced to testify to prove their own guilt
- being tried more than once for a crime
