(C) Explain the relationship between natural rights and the due process clause.

Explanation:

The Fourteenth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment includes a due process clause stating that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

For the Fifth Amendment, the due process clause applies to the federal government, while for the Fourteenth Amendment, the due process clause applies to state governments.
