Due Process is a legal principle that ensures fair treatment through the judicial system. It guarantees that individuals have the right to be heard and to defend themselves before any legal action is taken against them. This principle is rooted in the Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protect citizens from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property. There are two main types of due process: procedural due process and substantive due process. Procedural due process focuses on the methods and procedures used in legal proceedings, ensuring that they are fair and transparent. Substantive due process, on the other hand, protects certain fundamental rights from government interference, ensuring that laws are not unjust or unreasonable.
