Answer:

The content and meaning of the law will be fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due Process of law, as guaranteed in the Fifth Amendment, is the law that states that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property. It states that the law will remain fair and equal to both the civil and criminal in all legal matters.

Under the Fourteenth Amendment, Due Process of law is broken into two categories: Procedural Due Process and Substantive Due Process.

The Substantive due process deals with the subjects such as privacy and liberty of contract. The Substantive due process restricts the ability of the government to breach the constitutional liberties. It suggests that the substantive due process guarantees that the law will be fair in its content and meaning.

So, the last option is correct.
