From the Paper:

"Due process is a major fabric in the quilt of the United States Constitution. It is an important right, which without it the United States would be similar to other countries that lack the Constitutional protections that we offer. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is a major fabric that is of utmost importance because it places limitations on the government from taking our life, liberty and property without a trial or investigation. Protection of liberty is what the 14th and the 5th amendment is trying to protect based on the natural law traditions. Natural law is the tradition that humans have inalienable rights that cannot be taken by the government or any other entity, public or private. The historical traditions that go back to the days of the Hamurrabi codes have shown that there must be some type of timely manner and notification before the government can take any of your inalienable rights."
