LIFE, LIBERTY, or PROPERTY is DEPRIVED without DUE PROCESS

"Due process of law" means the Government has no power to pass judgment against you unless you are personally given the opportunity to appear in court in accordance with a lawfully served process. It is the basic the principle of legality. You have the natural right to be safe from deprivations of "life, liberty, or property" that are not based in the “law of the land.”
Unilateral, arbitrary action by Government has been the plight of most of humanity, for most of history. In 1215, Clause 39 of Magna Carta declared: “No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.”
This worked well until the 20th century. Since the New Deal, administrative agencies have seized an enormous share of Governmental actions that work to deprive the interests of citizens. As legislatures relinquished rule making and adjudication responsibilities to their executive branches, courts have largely sat idle on questions of due process. Procedures that would be clearly insufficient in judicial proceedings are now believed to be “constitutionally adequate” for agencies. An unjust IRS action, which you have little power to resist, is a good example. This is the way you run a railroad in Italy in 1939.
Promulgated rules are supposed to be “consistent with legislative intent.” What about when they are not? Often, the cost of seeking judicial review causes wronged parties to knuckle under without a fight. Studies show that 70% of agency rules are upheld by courts, with the Supreme Court upholding 91% of these rules. If you are well off, you play the “compliance” game better than your competition, so the more rules the better. But when you are not, your liberty and property is deprived without due process. You get a Code of Federal Regulations that is now over 175,000 pages long, billions of dollars in regulatory costs to stifle your economy, and the bureaucratic death (by a hundred thousand paper cuts) of your natural rights.
