The Due Process Clause, which is also referred to as the Due
Process of Law, is the principle whereby the U.S. Government
is obligated to respect all of the legal rights to which a
person is entitled according to the law of the land, instead
of respecting just some or most of their legal rights. To put
it another way, the Due Process Clause provides a person with
the means to enforce their rights against alleged violations
by the government. The Fourteenth Amendment states:

----- Begin Quote -----

"No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law."

----- End Quote -----

By a vote of 7 to 2, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Texas
abortion laws, and ruled that abortion is a fundamental right
under the Constitution. A fundamental right is simply a right
that finds its origin in the Constitution, or that is implied
by the Constitution. We'll take a quick look at some of these
fundamental rights as we continue our discussion in part two.

As I concluded in part one, a fundamental right is simply a
right that finds its origin in the US Constitution, or that's
implied by the Constitution, according to the interpretation
of the U.S. Supreme Court. Some of the rights which the court
views as being fundamental rights are the following:

The right to life.

The right to freedom of movement.

The right to own property.

The right to marry.

The right to procreate.

The right to raise children free from unnecessary
governmental interference.

The right to freedom of association.

The right to freedom of expression.

The right to equal treatment or equal protection before the
law (fair legal procedures).

The right to freedom of thought.

The right to religious belief.

The right to choose when and where to acquire formal
education.

The right to pursue happiness.

The right to vote.

The right to freedom of contract.

Now, let me ask you something. Abortion is obviously not a
right which finds its origin in the U.S. Constitution as per
the previous definition. In other words, going by the first
condition, abortion is not a fundamental right. That being
the case, how did the Supreme Court arrive at the conclusion
that abortion is implied in the Constitution? In the United
States, most fundamental rights can be found in the Bill of
Rights. The U.S. Bill of Rights is comprised of the first
Ten Amendments to the Constitution, which are the following:

1st Amendment : Includes the Establishment Clause, Free
Exercise Clause; freedom of speech, of the press, and of
assembly; right to petition.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of grievances."

2nd Amendment : Protects the right to keep and bear arms.

"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of
a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed."

3rd Amendment : Protects citizens from the quartering of
troops.

"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any
house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war,
but in a manner to be prescribed by law."

4th Amendment : Offers protection from unreasonable search
and seizure.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall
issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

5th Amendment : due process, double jeopardy,
self-incrimination, and eminent domain.

"No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or
otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or
indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the
land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual
service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person
be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy
of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case
to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall
private property be taken for public use, without just
compensation."

6th Amendment : Covers trial by jury and the rights of the
accused; Confrontation Clause, speedy trial, public trial,
right to counsel

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the
right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of
the State and district where in the crime shall have been
committed, which district shall have been previously
ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and
cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses
against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining
witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel
for his defense."

7th Amendment : Protects civil trial by jury.

"In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall
exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be
preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise
re-examined in any court of the United States, than according
to the rules of the common law."

8th Amendment : Covers the prohibition of excessive bail, and
cruel and unusual punishment.

"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines
imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

9th Amendment : Covers the protection of rights not
specifically enumerated in the U.S. Bill of Rights.

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights,
shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained
by the people."
