I Plead The Fifth

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; 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, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

This is a political cartoon that shows a judge telling the dog, "to bark once for yes twice for no and five times if you wish to take the 5th." this shows how everyone is given the right to plead the fifth. This means you do not have to answer or comment on anything. That is why the dog in the cartoon is given the option to plead the fifth.

This cartoon connects to the constitution because it demonstrates the fifth amendment. This is the right to a grand jury, double jeopardy, self-incrimination, and due process. This cartoon gives the dog the option to plead the fifth which gives him the right to remain silent.

I think that this cartoon is very humorous and it gives a good example of the fifth amendment. It shows how the dog is given the option to plead the fifth, which means that he isn't forced but he does it because he wants to.
