The Fifth Amendment protects individuals against self-incrimination, meaning that they cannot be forced to testify against themselves in a criminal trial. The other options are protected under different amendments - freedom of speech and of the press is protected under the First Amendment, the right to be secure in one's home is protected under the Fourth Amendment, and the prohibition against establishing a religion is protected under the First Amendment's establishment clause.
