Origins of the Fifth Amendment: The Right against Self-Incrimination - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in history and a landmark in the study of constitutional origins, Leonard Levy's now-classic study appears in a new paperback edition. Origins of the Fifth Amendment probes the intentions of the framers of the Fifth Amendment and emphasizes their belief that in a society based upon respect for the individual, it is more important that the accused not unwillingly contribute to his conviction than that the guilty be punished.
