Read the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

What is the purpose of this amendment?

to explain the process of a trial by jury

to describe the rights to life, freedom, and property

to explain the requirements for owners of private property

to describe obligations to obey the law, serve in the armed forces, and pay for property

    To descrive the rights to life, freedom, and property

    Explanation:

    The third and fourth answers are distraction answers, meaning that they are there so that there are more than two answers. The second answer does not make sense because private property is not the main focused of the amendment and the third answer does not make sense because it says "to describe obligations to obey the, serve in the armed forces, and pay for property." This does not make sense because Americans are not obligated to serve in the armed forces. The first choice makes more sense since it is referring to the process of a trial by jury something the fifth amendment is known for allowing when they read you your Miranda rights. However it does not fully describe a trial by jury.
