Understanding Fundamental Rights in Due Process

The concept of due process rights is a crucial element in protecting individual liberties against governmental action. It ensures that the government respects all legal rights owed to a person. In recent historical contexts, several Supreme Court cases have interpreted the breadth of due process rights. A particularly significant case is Washington v.

Based on this case and the principles it established, which of the following statements reflects the Court's interpretation of fundamental rights under due process?
