Under due process, all people accused of crimes are subject to rules that are the same for everyone.

Explanation:

Due process is a legal obligation that every level of the government has toward people accused of crimes to carry out all legal proceedings in accordance with established rules and principles of the nation so that all accused people receive fair and non-arbitrary treatment and are subject to rules that are the same for everyone.

Two of the Amendments of the U. S. Constitution that have a due process clause are the Fifth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment. While the first one states that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" and it applies to the federal government, the 14th Amendment states the same but applies it to state governments.
