Question Objective: Analyze the protections the law provides for the defendant. It is necessary to be aware of the protections of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. These Amendments are designed to guarantee that defendants are awarded due process of law. They state that law enforcement must abide by certain limitations on their power to search and seize property, advise defendants of their rights, and ensure that defendants are not forced to reveal information they don’t want to reveal without representation. The learning activity for this objective will require you to identify/analyze what protection each Amendment provides and why it is vital to the criminal justice system for both protection of the defendants and as a check and balance on law enforcement. The law provides defendants with the protection of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. Write a 2 page paper defining these Amendments and how they protect defendants. To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements need to be thoroughly addressed. Define each of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments and then describe how each affects the criminal justice system and protects the defendants’ rights.
