What’s the fifth?

@Ferise1 It includes due process guarantees that apply to everyone in the jurisdiction of the US. See my post at top level.

@Ferise1 More technically, it is the 5th amendment to the American constitution.

There are a few elements to it, of course Elwood mentioned the part that is relevant here.

@Ferise1 There is this new thing called "google" one can use to get an idea.
But in case you do not know what google is, I went ahead and did some research, it took 10 seconds, and came up with this -

The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being deprived of "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" and includes several other rights in criminal and civil proceedings, including the right to a grand jury indictment, protection from double jeopardy, the right against self-incrimination (the right to remain silent, often called "pleading the Fifth"), and the requirement for the government to provide "just compensation" when taking private property for public use (the Takings Clause).
