Incorporation
The concept you are asking about is called "due process". It is guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process when dealing with the federal government, while the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees it when dealing with State governments.
The Fourteenth Amendment Rights Guaranteed Privileges and Immunities of Citizenship, Due Process and Equal Protection. The fourteenth amendment goes along with the thirteenth and fifteenth amendments.
The due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is used by the courts to apply the Bill of Rights to the states.

The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments both guarantee the right of due process of the law. The Fifth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights; the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in 1868, has been used to selectively incorporate the Bill of Rights to the states.
The fifth and the fourteenth amendments both do. The fifth amendment is to protect against abuse of government authority in a legal procedure. The fourteenth amendment is to protect citizens from being deprived by governments or state.
