Due process
From wikilawschool.net. Wiki Law School does not provide legal advice. For educational purposes only.
Under the Constitution of the United States, lawyers speak of 2 types of "due process."
Procedural due process requires the government to take certain steps before depriving anyone of (1) life, (2) liberty, or (3) property.
Substanative due process means individuals have certain rights the government may not restrict without strong justification. Typically, substantive rights are not expressly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution.
