As others have mentioned a lot of this boils down to the wording of the 5th amendment. Specifically: "...nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself...". I recently found out that, for example, the Texas Bill of Rights [1] has stronger wording that addresses this. From section 10: "...He shall not be compelled to give evidence against himself...". 1. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/SOTWDocs/CN/htm/CN.1.htm |
