Malloy v. Hogan protects against what?

Malloy v. Hogan protects against what?

• A. Being compelled to provide incriminating testimony in a court proceeding
• B. Unreasonable searches and seizures
• C. Double jeopardy violations
• D. Right to counsel during interrogation

Answer: (A)

Protection against being compelled to testify against yourself in a criminal proceeding, guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment and applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Malloy v. Hogan held that this privilege is binding on state authorities as well as federal ones, so a person cannot be forced to provide incriminating testimony in state court. This protects you from being compelled to make self-incriminating statements that could be used against you in a criminal case. The other protections referenced—unreasonable searches and seizures, double jeopardy, and the right to counsel during interrogation—are governed by different parts of the Constitution and were not the focus of Malloy.
