Without question, Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment changed the structure of our federal system. By its terms, this provision plainly vests Congress with the authority necessary to prevent state governments from invading the fundamental rights of the American populace.
The procedural protections (life, liberty, and property), the entire Bill of Rights (freedom of speech, right to bear arms, legal protection), and the non-enumerated fundamental rights of the citizen were all extended to every American citizen in the United States with the Fourteenth Amendment.

Governmental actors violate due process when they frustrate the fairness of proceedings, such as when a prosecutor fails to disclose evidence to a criminal defendant that suggests they may be innocent of the crime, or when a judge is biased against a criminal defendant or a party in a civil action.
