    The major difference is that the Fifth Amendment's due process clause originally applied only to the Federal Government.

    The Fourteenth Amendment states " ( ...) nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

    Due process deals with the administration of justice so that the due process clause is a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the government outside the sanction of law.
