Detailed explanation-1: -In a 5-4 Supreme Court decision Miranda v. Arizona (1966) ruled that an arrested individual is entitled to rights against self-discrimination and to an attorney under the 5th and 6th Amendments of the United States Constitution.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 14th Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law. In other words, it means that state laws can not take away rights granted to US citizens by the Constitution. In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled that 5th Amendment rights could not be taken away by the state of Arizona.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice Earl Warren, ruled that the prosecution could not introduce Miranda’s confession as evidence in a criminal trial because the police had failed to first inform Miranda of his right to an attorney and against self-incrimination.
