Life, Liberty, and property

Life, Liberty, and property are natural rights that were first presented by John Locke. They are the very rights that both men and women (today) gain by giving up governmental rights in order to maintain a more stable society.

The Constitution states only one command twice. The Fifth Amendment says to the federal government that no one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, uses the same eleven words, called the Due Process Clause, to describe a legal obligation of all states. These words have as their central promise an assurance that all levels of American government must operate within the law ("legality") and provide fair procedures.
