RIP due process 1776-2025


A substantial portion of US citizens would not date the beginning of due process back to 1776.


Technically the "due process" clause is in the 14th Amendment, ratified 1868. ;)


"nor shall any person ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"

is in the Fifth Amendment.


Many might say the 19th, which took effect in 1920.
