Which of the following is NOT listed as a right under the 5th Amendment in the material?

The important idea is which rights are attributed to the Fifth Amendment versus the Sixth. The Fifth Amendment covers protection against self-incrimination, guarantees due process, guards against double jeopardy, and includes protections related to grand jury indictments and eminent domain. The right to a speedy trial, however, is not part of the Fifth Amendment; it appears in the Sixth Amendment, which ensures a speedy and public trial, an impartial jury, and other trial-related rights. So the statement claiming a speedy-trial right as a Fifth Amendment right is not correct. The duplicate speedy-trial options serve as distractors, but neither belongs to the Fifth Amendment; they belong to the Sixth.
