Talk:Fifth Amendment

Fifth Amendment
The other amendments have no entry. I know that's a terrible RFD argument, but I have a funny feeling about this one...--Type56op9 (talk) 15:27, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, and create First and Second: The Fifth Amendment of what? There are Fifth Amendments to a whole lotta things other than the United States Constitution, but in America, when you say "Fifth Amendment", you're always talking about the self-incrimination and double jeopardy clauses of the Bill of Rights.

 * Is there any deletion rationale here? If so, what is it? Renard Migrant (talk) 18:18, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe the nominator is arguing that the Amendments to the United States Constitution should not be included. Pur ple back pack 89  18:33, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I don't want to set a precedent to include a lot of numbered laws of various countries, but this one is mentioned a lot in many contexts. Equinox ◑ 22:21, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * There is no amendment to the US Constitution that does not appear in some OneLook reference, though some appear in only one, often RHU, but sometime only West's Legal Encyclopedia . The Equal Rights Amendment (not passed) appears in many such references. The Fifth Amendment is distinguished in that it has Fifth as a synonym, indicating the greater extent to which it has entered general popular discourse in such dialog as: "Have you been drinking?" "Can I take the Fifth on that?"
 * Isn't I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me worth an entry, too? It is another formulaic answer to questions like "Have you been drinking?" used in circumstances where literal criminality is not at issue. DCDuring TALK 23:39, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Kept. No consensus to delete. bd2412 T 14:41, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
