The Fourteenth Amendment principle requires state government to respect all civil liberties guaranteed to a person under the Constitution and US law, such as protection of citizens from being sent to prison without a trial. In addition to respecting all legal rights given to a citizen under the law, due process also means that the government cannot take away people's rights until due process has been applied.
