Liberty
A protected interest under the Due Process Clauses, covering both procedural protections and substantive fundamental rights.
Substantive due process protects fundamental rights (travel, voting, privacy, marriage) against government interference unless strict scrutiny is met. Procedural due process guarantees fair procedures before the government deprives a person of life, liberty, or property — the amount of process due varies with the private interest, risk of error, and government interest.
