The Due Process Clause is a part of the Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. It ensures that individuals cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without fair legal procedures. This means that the government must follow established rules and provide a fair hearing before taking any significant action against a person. The clause protects citizens from arbitrary actions by the government, ensuring that laws are applied fairly and consistently. It also guarantees the right to a fair trial, legal representation, and the opportunity to present one’s case in court, which are essential components of a just legal system.
