14th amendment
in may 2007, the united states 9th circuit court of appeals found in "rogers v. county of san joaquin", no. 05-16071 that a cps social worker who removed children from their natural parents into foster care without obtaining judicial authorization was acting without due process and without exigency (emergency conditions) violated the 14th amendment and title 42 united state code section 1983. the fourteenth amendment to the united states constitution says that a state may not make a law that abridges "... the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states" and no state may "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." title 42 united states code section 1983 states that citizens can sue in federal courts any person who acting under a color of law to deprive the citizens of their civil rights under the pretext of a regulation of a state, "see".

after the passage of the fourteenth amendment in 1868, the supreme court dealt with a series of cases regarding the scope of that amendment's due process clause. this clause says that "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law". the court initially rejected an argument that the due process clause applied to the state governments in "hurtado v. california" (1884), a case concerning the right to a grand jury hearing. justice matthews, writing for the majority of the court, reasoned that "the amendment prescribing due process of law is too vague and indefinite to operate as a practical restraint." while this decision rejected an expanded reach of the due process clause, the court stated that the clause did protect against state encroachment on "fundamental principles of liberty and justice which lie at the base of all our civil and political institutions".
