Which United States Supreme Court case held that persons accused of crimes must be advised of their Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights upon their arrest?

Miranda v. Arizona
Dred Scott v. Sandford
Engel v. Vitale
Marbury v. Madison

The correct answer is: Miranda v. Arizona

Miranda v. Arizona established the important concept of "Miranda rights" which require that anyone arrested for a crime must be informed of their Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. This landmark case is significant in protecting the rights of individuals in the criminal justice system. The other options are not relevant to this question. Dred Scott v. Sandford was a case about slavery and citizenship, Engel v. Vitale was about school prayer, and Marbury v. Madison was about judicial review. None of these cases address the issue of advising arrested persons of their rights.
