Questions arise over the risks presented to human beings and the environment, if GMOs are really necessary to supply the world with adequate amounts of food, if there are alternatives, and what surrounding ethical ...

The due process clause appears in the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments to the United States Constitution. The primary objective of this element of the United States constitutional framework is to protect the people from arbitrariness of the state in administration of its law enforcement functions.
