Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A. A situation that best illustrates a case in which the due process of law is violated would be if police officers force a crime suspect from his home and imprison him.

Explanation:

Due process of law is a legal requirement that states that government must respect all legal rights possessed by a person, thus balancing the laws in force in an area and the rights of the people that lives in it. When the government is known to prosecute someone without following applicable law, it can be considered to violate due process accordingly, thus violating the rule of law.

 In this case, a forceful arrest without a proper search and arrest warrant motivated by the suspicion of a crime constitutes a clear violation of due process of law.
