Merriam-Webster says that due process is:
A) a course of formal proceedings (as legal proceedings) carried out regularly and in accordance with established rules and principles —called also procedural due process
B) a judicial requirement that enacted laws may not contain provisions that result in the unfair, arbitrary, or unreasonable treatment of an individual —called also substantive due process.
Legal proceedings carried out fairly and in accord with established rules and principles.
