There is NO amendment that says you CANNOT testify against yourself. There is an amendment that says that you cannot be FORCED to testify against yourself. A BIG difference! The 5th Amendment to the US Constitution protects you against self incrimination unless you WILLINGLY waive that right.
Amendments cannot be changed. They can be superceded by another amendment, or repealed (revoked) by another amendment.
Amendment 5- This states that there can be no self-incrimination and/or Double Jeopardy.
