Constitutionual Connection:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
Analysis:
In this political cartoon it is asking the infamous Lorena Bobbitt what she did to her husband. The question is relating to the reason why she is in court. Which she does not have to answer because of her right to not be a witness against herself. I agree with this constitutional right, because no person should not be forced to any degree to confess or tedtify against his or herself. I find the cartoon funny because the men are clenching and the women are looking to her as a hero.
