The 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides protection against self-incrimination. This means that an individual cannot be compelled to testify against themselves in a criminal case. This protection is often associated with the phrase "pleading the fifth," which is the practice of refusing to answer questions in a legal proceeding that may incriminate oneself.
