allsm [11]

<em>Due process</em> is a legal requirement that enforces a government to respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person. There is an amendment in the 5th and 14th amendment of the US Constitution, which protects citizens against the arbitrary and unlawful denial of their right to life, liberty, and property. This requires government officials to follow fair procedures of a person's deprivation of the 3 previously mentioned rights, whether the offense to whom the person is accused is of civil or criminal nature.
