The Supreme Court has refrained from providing a precise definition of due process to allow for flexibility in interpreting the concept as societal values and norms evolve. Due process is rooted in principles of fairness and justice, which can vary based on context and specific cases. This approach enables the Court to adapt its rulings to the complexities of individual rights and the changing legal landscape, ensuring that due process remains relevant and applicable in diverse situations. Additionally, a strict definition could limit judicial discretion and hinder the Court's ability to address new legal challenges effectively.
