Absolutely.  It's freedom of speech.  Its the first ammendment of the constitution.(Bill of rights section)

First Amendment of the Constitution\nCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. \n\nThe Amendment was meant to protect all citizens from censorship, particularly when criticizing the government.\n\nHowever, the Bush Administration attempted to violate these rights during anti-war protests but when thousands of activists were brought to court on charges of raising their voices up against the war, the judges had to overturn the charges citing the first Amendment.\n\nThe Bush Administration keeps many civil liberties attorneys quite busy protecting the rights of citizens.\n\nThe Constitution was being dismantled by the Bush piece by piece as he instituted amendments against many basic rights. Voting people feared these rights were being lost forever so they voted the Republicans out in large numbers during the last election.

Technically, it isn't in the U.S. Constitution.  The Miranda Warning came about after Miranda vs. Arizona in 1960(?).  But it refers to the fifth amendment right that protects against self-incrimination, or "the right to remain silent".

To be free, speech/press, right to assemble, right to remain silent, right to vote. I know you only asked for 5 but the freedom of choice is also very important

Who do you propose reporting Yahoo too? The morality police? We all have first amendment rights under the constitution. I've seen a lot of posts that I don't agree with but people still have a right to post them no matter what their politics or sexual orientation.

The first amendment, among other things, protects the individual's freedom to associate with whomever he chooses.  As far as I'm concerned, if two fellas want to free associate, they can do it as much as they like.  But the day you tell me that marrying another man is mandatory, that's the day when I leave the US.  Nobody's gonna force me to get gay married.

The first amendment says freedom of speech.\nThe Patriot Act allows the government to spy on you and arrest you if you "say" you're planning terrorism.\n\nThat's one link.

The correct answer is the Bill of Rights.\n\nThe cruel and unusual punishment is in the 8th Amendment, the others are in the 5th.
