Answer:
The similarity between the due process clauses in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment is that both promises to give 'equal protection.'
Explanation:
The Due Process clause can be defined as a clause that 'due the process' of law, before the government takes action against someone for depriving of 'life, liberty, and property.'
In the Fifth Amendment, the due process clause gives equal protection to those held in criminal offenses. The due process clause of the Fifth Amendment ensure fair legal proceedings.
The due process clause in the Fourteenth Amendment, on the other hand, provides equal protection to it's citizens restricting federal governmental interference.
