It is there as a mechanism to prevent the government from eliciting information the accused. The government has to inform the suspect of his Constitutional Rights before asking questions. Unfortunately, there are many instances where the police officers would ask questions prior to giving the Miranda warnings and there also times where government officials would elicit an involuntary statement from the suspect. The statements gained from a 5th Amendment violation cannot be used in court.
