The Fourth Amendment establishes the right for their property, unless the system has probable cause and for that persons belonging will be seized. The Fifth Amendment establishes a person not to be set up for any crime until there is probable cause. Also, the Fifth Amendment prohibits double jeopardy meaning no person cannot be tried twice for the same crime. The Sixth Amendment establishes if a person is tried for a crime, they are given the right to a speedy and public trial. The person accused of the crime is given their right to grant anything his or her own defense. The Eighth Amendment establishes that their bail and fines are prohibited and cannot be unreasonably high. It also states that there cannot be unusual punishments given. The Fourteenth Amendment establishes anyone born or naturalized in the United States are given jurisdiction. The Supreme Court protects the state meaning, all persons are given the opportunity for protection. Criminal Law protects the interests, safety, and interests
