cannot be forced to testify against themselves.
Brief explanation: The Fifth Amendment says a person "shall not be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself," which is why defendants can "plead the Fifth" to avoid self-incrimination. It does not mean they are guilty, nor does it directly concern warrants or denial of due process (due process is covered by the Fifth but the specific protection described is against compelled testimony).
