Due process of law is a fundamental bulwark against tyranny. It traces its origins back 800 years to King John and the English Magna Carta. In our Constitution, the principle was first enshrined in the Fifth Amendment and provides that “No person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The same principle was later repeated in the Fourteenth Amendment.
