What requires criminal suspects to be informed of their rights?

Miranda v. Arizona
Plessy v. Ferguson
In re Gault
Tinker v. Des Moines

The correct answer is: Miranda v. Arizona

Miranda v. Arizona is the correct answer because it was a Supreme Court case that established the Miranda rights, which require criminal suspects to be informed of their rights before being questioned by police. This decision was based on the Fifth Amendment, which protects against self-incrimination. Plessy v. Ferguson and Tinker v. Des Moines were both Supreme Court cases, but dealt with separate issues not related to criminal suspects' rights. In re Gault was a Supreme Court case dealing with a juvenile's right to legal counsel in juvenile court proceedings, but it did not specifically address informing criminal suspects of their rights. Therefore, these other options are incorrect.
