The Miranda rights are based in the amendments to the Constitution. The 5th amendment states the right to remain silent and the 6th states the right to an attorney. The precedent of reading them as a suspect is taken into custody was set in the supreme court case Miranda v. Arizona, in which it was determined that reading the Miranda rights would help protect the suspect's rights.
