the fifth and fourteenth amendments
due process clause









































the fifth and fourteenth amendments to the united states constitution each contain a due process clause. due process deals with the administration of justice and thus the due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the government outside the sanction of law. the supreme court of the united states interprets the clauses broadly, concluding that these clauses provide four protections: procedural due process (in civil and criminal proceedings), substantive due process, a prohibition against vague laws, and as the vehicle for the incorporation of the bill of rights.
due process clause
like the fourteenth amendment, the fifth amendment includes a due process clause stating that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." the fifth amendment's due process clause applies to the federal government, while the fourteenth amendment's due process clause applies to state governments. the supreme court has interpreted the fifth amendment's due process clause as providing two main protections: procedural due process, which requires government officials to follow fair procedures before depriving a person of life, liberty, or property, and substantive due process, which protects certain fundamental rights from government interference. the supreme court has also held that the due process clause contains a prohibition against vague laws and an implied equal protection requirement similar to the fourteenth amendment's equal protection clause.
