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. Sending someone a notice is 1 such step.

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.
