Elaborate the meaning of due process through the use of an example
What will be an ideal response?
The concept of due process, found both in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments has been used to evaluate the constitutionality of legal statutes and to set standards and guidelines for fair procedures in the criminal justice system. For example, there is a concern about the Patriot Act that permits the government to share information from grand jury proceedings and from criminal wiretaps with intelligence agencies. These practices have the potential to erode civil rights, and therefore additional provisions were enacted in 2006 to ensure that the Act did not violate those civil rights by limiting its surveillance and wiretap authorizations.
