Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise inf
amous crime, unless on
a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury,except in cases aris
ing in the land or naval
forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War o
r public danger; nor shall
any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeo
pardy of life or limb; nor
shall be compelled in any criminal case to bea witness against h
imself, nor be deprived
of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shal
l private property be taken
for public use, without just compensation.
The Fifth Amendment keeps a business owner from having to
testify against them. Having legal representation keeps the
owner from incriminate themselves and causing a worse
situation that can’t be fixed later. For my future business I
want to open my own daycare center and with this will come
situations they may bring legal action and because I am
protected by the Fifth Amendment if there is anything to happen
within that center I have the right as the owner to speak or not
to. We all have seen where children are being left on vans or
children are being hurt a childcare facilities, but you never hear
the owner of these centers speak about what happen or what will
happen, or even what was the cause. Usually there is a
statement given to the press about the situation and sometimes
that may be the end of it until you find out what may have
happen to that employee, although this may be my center I am
not required by law to say anything to the public about the

The constitution of the United States is the founding father of
America’s laws that represents the foundation of state laws that
govern and protects the welfare of its citizens. Furthermore,
according to (Seaquist, 2012), “the constitution limits the power
of the federal government to regulate state matters in all areas
of private or public life not to infringe on any rights protected
by the U.S. Constitution” (sec 1.2).
Amendment XIV, section one of the United States Constitution
states, “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
States and the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or
enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws” (Seaquist, 2012, Appendix A).
Although the 14th
amendment is constituting as the law of the land, passed by
congress in 1866 and ratified in 1868, blacks in southern states
were denied certain rights and privileges under a law known as
Black Codes. African Americans were not allowed to own
property, travel, sue in court, or repayment of any debts. One
hundred fifty-one years later, there are still racial
discrimination practices against leasing and owning a private
business. By not staying true to the 14th

3. amendment, it limits the ability for Blacks and black-owned
businesses to be protected and treated as equal to whites and as
a citizen of the United States.
This amendment has played a significant role in my life. After
Joining the military, I was naturalized and became a United
States citizen. Being able to become a United States citizen
was a long-term accomplishment of mine. And living the fact
that I was also serving in the military meant so much more. As
a naturalized citizen, I was able to have more privileges such as
jobs and monetary funds, but still limited specific
discrimination that deters me from holding the higher ranking
position due to the nature of my accent, background, and
birth country. In my opinion, if the 14th amendment was
enforced, all citizens of the United States, despite their ethnic
origin, religion, or gender will have equal protection of the
laws.
