What changes can be made to the bill of rights in the fifth the amendment?

            An amendment should be made in order to hold individuals accountable for capital or in an infamous crime. This will help in reducing the rate of corruption as those individual who are involved in capital losses walk free after losing the public money (Smith, 2008).  In addition those individuals that are thus involved in infamous crimes are thus not changed because the rimes are considered as minor yet they cause damages to the activities of the public. This would help in achieving equality since between those that are involved in infamous and famous crime will be charged equally.  This is crucial in transforming the lives of individuals changing the individual’s lives would help in ensuring that every individual is fully incorporated into the government which can be accomplished by amendments (Smith, 2008). These constitutional amendments would that ensure that individuals are protected from tyranny which arises because the individuals lack the proper law of changing actions.

            The amendment should also be made to ensure that the individuals wish to commit the same crime more than two times can thus be charged more than twice for that particular crime. This is because individuals will intentionally commit the same crime after the second punishment because they will not be expecting any charges (Smith, 2008). The amendment will therefore help in ensuring that the occurrence of the same crime is reduced. In addition this is an effective strategy of ensuring that the crime rate of a particular crime is dropped as those that have a habit of performing it will be transformed by the ruling.  This will also ease the management of the justice system as those that are found to commit the same crime twice will receive a higher prosecution than the intended one for the particular crime. This will help in saving a lot of finances that are set aside by the government in order to effectively manage the issues that are resulted by reoccurrences or higher rates of crimes (Smith, 2008). The change will therefore help those individual who repeat the same crime more than twice in understanding that the penalties are not made to punish but to reform them. This will also help in the provision of security and protection to the individuals because the constitution owes them the rights and by subjecting heavy penalties because of a crime reoccurrence this will help in protecting them (Smith, 2008).

            The Fifth Amendment also stated that no individuals are allowed to be her or his own witness. This should therefore be amended in order to allow individuals to provide their own testimonies in their individual cases in several instances when the evidence provided by the witnesses is inadequate (Smith, 2008). This will therefore help in solving those cases that depend on self as they may lack witnesses and those that may be available fail in delivering the necessary information.  This will help in achieving equality in the justice system as individuals will be free to exercise their rights without fail. The amendment is therefore crucial in exercising democracy in the state as individuals cannot exercise their rights freely without the mandatory of the constitution (Smith, 2008). The change of the amendment will reduce the pressures that are subjected to the justice system in deriving settlement in cases where there lacks adequate evidence.

            A change should also be made on the law that no private property is allowed to be transformed to public without the provision of compensation. The change should therefore indicate that compensation will not give the government the right of changing ownership of a private property without the court proceeding of the legal proceedings (Brezina, 2011). This will help in protecting individual owners of property. This is because compensation may be understated and this will thus affect the property owner since they cannot change the actions without the mandatory of the law. The change should therefore allow the parties to take part in legal activities which would thus help in determining the compensation that is favorable and whether additional payments should be made towards the transformation of ownership. This will help in protecting the individual’s right of ownership to property without fail. As individuals are entitled to own property and therefore these rights should be honored by allowing the property owner to bargain out the compensation if they feel that it is inadequate (Brezina, 2011).  This will therefore help in ensuring that individuals rights and freedom of ownership are not disrespected.

            The amendment should also be amended to ensure that individuals are deprived of the opportunity to own property or even to liberty under several circumstances (Brezina, 2011).  These circumstances may therefore include the case where an individual is involved in disobeying the public policy. This law can therefore withdraw the right to liberty of the individual in order to ensure that justice is paid to the public (Brezina, 2011).  This will therefore ensure that the immoral acts are reduced and those that are involved in public pr government scandals of corruption should also be denied the right to liberty. This is because the lack of liberty denial allows most individuals to walk free after committing unlawful acts to the public. This will therefore ensure that the wealth and the poor citizen’s rights are given a priority (Brezina, 2011). This change of the amendment should therefore ensure that there is no court preceding that is required in withdrawing the rights.  This is because as much as they are entitled to liberty their actions may have damages the liberty of those that are affected.

            These changes will therefore help in regulating individuals rights more openly without much complication as the changes will ease understanding (Brezina, 2011). In addition the changes will therefore help in providing clear definition of the utilized phrases in explaining the individual’s bills of right.  This will be influenced by the ability of the bill to influence the behaviors of individuals by enabling the capability of the involved bodies in devoting minimum time in solving the rising or the existing cases. This is because the fifth amendment is entailed with detailed information which can thus be simplified into simpler terms which will increase the understanding of individuals which will enable the individuals to exercise their rights freely without fail. This will provide a better constitution because the bill of rights consists of wider ranges of information that requires maximum time and   knowledge in enhancing understanding (Brezina, 2011). Therefore, with the current constitutional statement, only a few individuals fully understand what is contained. This would help in providing an open and a well-understood constitution that will, therefore, allow individuals to fully exercise their rights as they are well aware of what is required of them.
