The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights.

At trial, an individual may “invoke the Fifth” by declining to testify in their own defense, and the prosecution may not comment on such a decision.

Fourth Amendment: protects against unreasonable search and seizure. Fifth Amendment: protects against self-testimony, being tried twice for the same crime, and the seizure of property under eminent domain. Sixth Amendment: the rights to a speedy trial, trial by jury, and to the services of a lawyer.

The Fourth Amendment has two basic clauses. One focuses on the reasonableness of a search and seizure; the other, on warrants. One view is that the two clauses are distinct, while another view is that the second clause helps explain the first. However, which interpretation is correct is unclear.

The Texas Constitution provides that the legislature, by a two-thirds vote of all members of each house, may propose amendments revising the constitution and that proposed amendments must then be submitted for approval to the qualified voters of the state.

The Fourth and Fifth amendments are similar in the way that they both prohibit the seizure of private property without just cause.

An individual can only invoke the Fifth Amendment in response to a communication that is compelled, such as through a subpoena or other legal process. The communication must also be testimonial in nature. In other words, it must relate to either express or implied assertions of fact or belief.

Final answer: These amendments prevent government overreach by establishing clear rights for the accused and safeguarding personal freedoms.
