FOLIO Ontology

A Liberty Clause claim is a legal assertion related to the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. These clauses prohibit the federal government (Fifth Amendment) and state governments (Fourteenth Amendment) from depriving any person of "life, liberty, or property" without due process of law. A claim involving the Liberty Clause might arise in situations where an individual argues that a government action has unduly restricted their personal freedoms without proper legal procedures or justification.
