What does Due Process mean?
or, "due process of law"
answers (2)
There are 2 kinds of "due process."
Procedural due process means that before being deprived of life, liberty, or property, a person must get 2 things: notice and an opportunity to be heard. For example, before taking someone's welfare or social security benefits away, you must give them notice, and a hearing where they may be heard.
Substantive due process is related to constitutional law, and protects the "fundamental" rights granted by the Constitution.

This is difficult for me to answer quickly because, since (some) drugs (that occur naturally all over the planet without any help from mankind) were outlawed, the government is now allowed to (illegally) confiscate (take) your property WITHOUT due process of law. The reason drugs were outlawed was because after the Civil War ended in 1865 and the former slaves were then supposed to be allowed to vote, first the corrupt US government attempted writing 'grandfather clauses' (google that term) and when those were found unconstitutional, the corrupt US government then went and outlawed the drugs that minorities were using (instead of drinking the white man's alcohol) so they could stuff their prisons with minorities, to replace the lost slave labor with prison labor. read tinyurl.com/1mn for more information about this terrible injustice. Nowadays, any corrupt cop can plant illegal drugs on someone and then arrest them for it.
