Which of the following is a limitation of the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination?

The Fifth Amendment is designed to protect individuals from being compelled to testify against themselves in criminal cases. This means that during criminal proceedings, individuals have the right to remain silent and cannot be forced to provide self-incriminating evidence. The limitation is that this specific protection does not extend to civil cases, meaning that individuals can be compelled to testify in civil proceedings without the same protections against self-incrimination.

The Fifth Amendment’s protection is a fundamental component of the rights afforded to individuals within the context of criminal law, emphasizing the principle that a person should not be forced to provide testimony that could lead to their own prosecution. Understanding this limitation is crucial for comprehending the broader legal landscape where various rights apply differently depending on whether a case is civil or criminal in nature.
