Answer 1

D. A standard set of procedures must be followed before any action is taken to punish persons accused of breaking the law.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the 5th and 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, it provides that the federal government shall not deprive anyone of life, liberty or property without a due process.

Due process is a standard set of procedures which are required to be followed before any action is taken to punish persons accused of breaking the law.

The procedures under due process are based on fair and equal treatment of individuals when brought before a court. They may include the right to be heard, issuance of notice/warranty in advance, decision by an unbiased judge, etc.
