Suspects may refrain from testifying against themselves  in order to avoid self incrimination. 

6A. The balance of power shall be comprised of four branches. The public branch,the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judiciary branch. 

6B. The power of the public is the power of all citizenry who dwell in our great republic. Their civic duty shall be to appoint or depose representatives to roles in a democratic majority vote to be held every galactic standard year. In times of civil crisis,  in times of war, in times of tyrranny caused by overreach of any branch of elected representatives, it is the duty of the public branch to do whatever is necessary for the protection of this constitution, this republic,  and the values held by this union of systems.   All members of the public branch are required to abide by the laws rightfully written, passed, and enforced by the three branches of elected representatives. One person, one vote.

6C. The power of the executive branch  is the power of a duly elected president who is appointed by the public branch.

6D. The power of the judiciary is the power of the Supreme court of nine justices.  The duty of these representatives, duly elected by majority vote of the public branch, is to vett any and all laws, executive orders or memorandae for adherence to this constitution.

A majority vote can repeal laws that the legislative branch deems unfair. In addition, a 3/4 majority vote  can open  this constitution to amendment. Any proposed amendment can only be added or repealed by majority vote.
