Where in the Constitution is the Due Process Clause found?
  1. Article III
  2. The First Amendment
  3. The Third Amendment
  4. The Ninth Amendment
  5. The Fourteenth Amendment
Explanation
Answer: E - The Fourteenth Amendment contains the Due Process Clause, stating, “[N]or shall any state deprive any person of life liberty or property without due process of law.” This is one of the most cited constitutional provisions in Supreme Court decisions. It serves as sort of a catch-all in applying concepts of justice and fairness to federal and state governments. The Due Process Clause is also in the Fifth Amendment, but in that context it applies only to the federal government.
