Explain in a couple of sentences, what is meant by due process and provide an example.

Due process is the legal concept that all citizens will be treated equally in terms of the law. This can be seen in the US Constitution with the 5th and 14th amendments. Here is an example: If a person is arrested for committing a crime, they must have their rights read to them. Once this person is arrested and read their rights, they are entitled to a trail with a jury of their peers present. The aforementioned rights are ones that ALL citizens are entitled to, no matter who you are.
