A civil trial is person vs person or person vs organization where one is suing the other for compensation or to stop doing something. A criminal trial brings criminal charges against an individual
This was the original purpose of the second amendment
To arm citizens in case they needed to rise up against foreign governments, Native Americans or their own government

You never have to be required to turn over evidence against yourself
