The Fifth Amendment says that a person cannot be put on trial for the same crime more than once. It also says that anyone accused of a crime has the right to remain silent. The right to remain silent is important when someone is accused of a crime. A person does not have to answer questions from the police. In fact, the police need to tell a person about the Fifth Amendment before questioning him or her. A person also does not have to speak at his or her own trial. Even if a person does speak, he or she can plead the Fifth to avoid answering any question. Part of the text of the Fifth Amendment is below. It does not use the words "right to remain silent." Where do you think that phrase comes from? Nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.
