Answer:

The correct answer is b) due process.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Due process" implies that all legal processes must take into account the legal rights of their citizens. Due process is characterized by providing people with a fair, impartial process and with the corresponding guarantees, thus protecting the rights of citizens by law.

For example, in the case of Center City, they cannot present a prison sentence without trial to any person because they would be breaking the law, as everyone has the right to a due process and to be treated fairly.

I hope this information can help you.
