Question

What is due process?

money to pay for the temporary release of a prisoner
the act of legally taking an item that belongs to someone else
a principle of law that says citizens cannot be denied their legal rights
a legal document that authorizes law enforcement to conduct a search

Answer 1

Answer: Due process is a principle of law that says citizens cannot be denied their legal rights.

Explanation: Due process is justified in the interpretation of the Fifth Amendment, which states nobody should be deprived of life, liberty, and property without due process of law. This statement, however, did not apply to Blacks at the time because the 3/5 Compromise rendered Blacks to be property, meaning every 3 out of 5 slaves were considered a part of representation.
