Question and options
The Miranda warning is associated with
- Right to privacy
- Right to a fair trial
- Right to remain silent
- Right to speedy trial
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Right to remain silent
The Miranda warning comes from the US Supreme Court's decision in Miranda v Arizona (1966): a suspect in custody must be told of the right to remain silent, that anything said may be used in evidence, and of the right to counsel. It protects the privilege against self-incrimination during police questioning, not the separate rights to a speedy or fair trial or to privacy.
