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 ProcessClause, to describe a legal obligation of all states.

The fifth amendment guarantees "of due process and of the right to refuse to answer questions in order to avoid incriminating oneself."

The fourteenth guarantees that no citizens nor any state can "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

If that's what you mean.
