Due process is best defined in one word--fairness. Throughout the U.S.'s history, its constitutions, statutes and case law have provided standards for fair treatment of citizens by federal, state and local governments. These standards are known as due process. When a person is treated unfairly by the government, including the courts, he is said to have been deprived of or denied due process.
Example: Ezra and Sharon married in New York and had a son, Darwin. They divorced and Sharon moved to California; Darwin stayed with Ezra. Darwin later moved to California to live with Sharon; Sharon sued Ezra for child support in California. Ezra claimed that because he didn't live in California and had never been to California it would be unfair (a denial of due process) for him to defend the child support lawsuit in California. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed, saying that Sharon should bring her child support request in New York. Kulko v. Superior Court, 436 U.S. 84 (1978).
Due process refers to the rights of a citizen when subject to law enforcement or judicial action, or agency rulemaking that impacts the rights of citizens - due process meets constitutional requirements, referring to both procedure and substantial rights of citizens. For example, if a citizen has a legal right to land and the government needs to build a freeway through it, the government can't just take it, due process requires at least notice, fair market compensation and opportunity for judicial review of the decision-making.
