Answer to Question 1

The Fourth Amendment provides protection against unreasonable searches and seizures and outlines warrant requirements. The Fifth Amendment provides the right against self-incrimination and against double jeopardy. The Sixth Amendment provides the right to counsel, a speedy and public trial by jury, the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses, and the right to compel witnesses to appear and testify. The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishments and excessive bail and fines. These rights are the basis for the protection of defendants' due process rights in criminal procedure. All of these Amendments in the Bill of Rights (the first ten Amendments to the Constitution) have been incorporated to apply to state criminal proceedings through the Fourteenth Amendment.
