Define due process of law.

The procedure to impose taxes
The principle that the government must respect all the legal rights a person is entitled to under the law.
The process of electing officials
The guideline for creating new laws

The correct answer is: The principle that the government must respect all the legal rights a person is entitled to under the law.

Due process of law refers to the legal concept that the government must respect and protect the rights of individuals. It ensures that no individual is deprived of their legal rights without fair and just procedures, and it applies to all legal proceedings, including arrest and trial. Option A is incorrect because due process is not related to imposing taxes. Option C is incorrect because due process is not related to the election process. Option D is incorrect because due process does not involve creating new laws, but rather enforces and upholds existing laws. Only option B accurately describes the meaning of due process of law.
