The Third Amendment in the Bill of Rights protects citizens from being forced to quarter soldiers in peacetime. The Fourth Amendment protects against unlawful searches: law enforcement officials must obtain warrants based on probable cause, with a sworn statement and a specified area to be searched. The Fifth Amendment guarantees certain criminal trial protections: citizens cannot be subject to double jeopardy, a trial for an infamous or capital crime without a grand jury indictment, or self-incriminating testimony. All citizens are entitled to due process when charged with a crime. The Sixth Amendment addresses additional trial protections: a citizen has the right to know the crime of which he is accused, confront the witnesses against him, gather witnesses for his case, receive a speedy and public trial with an impartial jury, and have the aid of an attorney. The Eighth Amendment addresses penalties and punishments: citizens charged with or convicted of a crime cannot be held with excessive bail (assessed proportionally with regard to the crime of which they are accused), excessive penalties, or cruel and unusual punishment.
