Most of the time it sought to deprive its citizens of life, liberty or property it did so through criminal law, for which the Bill of Rights explicitly stated quite a few procedures that had to be followed (like the right to a jury trial) — rights that were well understood by lawyers and courts operating in the long traditions of English common law. The exact phrase from the 1354 statutory rendition of the Magna Carta referring to “due process of law” reads: At the time, “taken” was interpreted to mean being arrested or deprived of liberty by the government. These differences of opinion necessarily are informed by interpretations of the meaning and relevance of the historical evidence, the meaning of the words used by the Framers in the Clause and whose understanding of that meaning is relevant, and more fundamental views of whether the meaning of the Constitution was fixed when written or can change over time. Dans le cas des prisonniers par exemple, la Cour suprême a jugé qu’indépendamment des lois et règlements qui régissent les établissements pénitentiaires, ceux-ci peuvent invoquer le Due Process lorsque l’ingérence publique dans leur liberté est « atypique au regard des conditions normales d’emprisonnement » (Sandin v.

Roth(19) la Cour suprême a cessé d’évaluer l’intérêt propriétaire de l’administré à l’aune de l’importance du retentissement de la décision dans la vie dudit administré(20) sans définir à proprement parler un critère alternatif, on relèvera plutôt qu’elle considère que l’intérêt propriétaire de l’administré va au-delà des questions de propriété immobilière, de propriété mobilière ou même de questions d’argent(21), au point de pouvoir englober, par exemple, une mesure disciplinaire de suspension temporaire de lycéens(22).
