The Fifth Amendment protects Americans against the following:
- **being forced to testify to prove their own guilt**: This is covered under the right against self-incrimination.
- **being tried more than once for a crime**: This is covered under the prohibition against double jeopardy.
The Fifth Amendment does not specifically address "undergoing improper search and seizure" (this is covered under the Fourth Amendment) or "being prevented from bearing arms" (this is more relevant to the Second Amendment).
So, the correct selections are:
- being forced to testify to prove their own guilt
- being tried more than once for a crime
- **being forced to testify to prove their own guilt**: This is covered under the right against self-incrimination.
- **being tried more than once for a crime**: This is covered under the prohibition against double jeopardy.
