During which process can a person be compelled to testify against themselves?

  1. Extradition

  2. Warrant of Arrest

  3. Indictment

  4. No process allows this due to self-incrimination protections

The correct answer is: No process allows this due to self-incrimination protections

The correct answer highlights a fundamental principle of the legal system known as the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. This principle protects individuals from being compelled to testify against themselves in any legal proceeding. During extradition, a warrant of arrest, or indictment, individuals cannot be forced to provide self-incriminating testimony. These processes may involve various legal proceedings where an individual is questioned, but the right against self-incrimination remains firmly intact, ensuring that individuals have the autonomy to refuse to answer questions that could incriminate them. This protection is crucial in safeguarding the rights of individuals within the justice system, reinforcing the notion that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty and should not be pressured into providing evidence that could lead to their own prosecution.
