The Fourteenth Amendment makes it clear that the due process requirements in the Fifth Amendment apply to state as well as federal action. Section 1 states that: "No state shall make or enforce any law which abridges the priveleges or immunities of citizens of the US; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." When the Constitution was first adopted it was generally considered that it was a limitation on federal power, not states, because it set up the federal government.
