DUE PROCESS. The idea that laws and legal proceedings must be fair. The Constitution guarantees that the government cannot take away a person's basic rights to 'life, liberty or property, without due process of law.' Courts have issued numerous rulings about what this means in particular cases.
Among them was the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits the states from depriving âany person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.â. When it was adopted, the Clause was understood to mean that the government could deprive a person of rights only according to law applied by a court.he Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment echoes that of the Fifth Amendment. The Fifth Amendment, however, applies only against the federal government. After the Civil War, Congress adopted a number of measures to protect individual rights from interference by the states.
