What is the background and significance of Miranda v. Arizona?
What will be an ideal response?
The Miranda warning is used to inform people who are under arrest that the Fifth
Amendment provides protection against self-incrimination during an interrogation. This
warning comes from the 1966 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Miranda v. Arizona. In
this case, Ernesto Miranda was accused of rape and kidnapping. After two hours of
interrogation by the police, he confessed to the crime. Armed with his confession,
Miranda was convicted of these crimes. Miranda appealed his conviction on the
grounds that he was not informed of his right to remain silent. The U.S. Supreme Court
agreed with Miranda and overturned his conviction
