These amendments were intended to guard the American citizen’s rights, as well as their property. The 5th Amendment establishes a variety of rights related to criminal, as well as civil litigation 's. In felonious lawsuits, the Fifth Amendment promises the defendant the right to a grand jury, prohibits double jeopardy, and shields them from self-incrimination. When it comes to the Fifth Amendment, one landmark case that applied it was Miranda v. Arizona. In this case, the Supreme Court concluded that offenders, who are apprehended, must be read their rights in regards to self-incrimination and their right to counsel, before law enforcement begins to interrogate them. In addition to the Fifth Amendment, the First Amendment has had its fair share of court cases. The First Amendment makes it a crime to create a law that initiates a religion, prohibits the freedom of expression, prevents individuals from carrying out their religion, ceases the press from printing and distributing what they choose to, and hinders people 's right to gather quietly or protest against authority. A few cases that were decided upon based on the First Amendment are as follows: New York Times v. Sullivan, Morse v. Frederick, Bethel School District v. Fraser and Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. The Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District case establised the “disruption test” that many court cases that followed adhered to. The “disruption test” meant that an act of expression should be permitted within a school facility as long as it does not disturb school functions or attack the rights of another
