The aim of this article was to analyze the constitutional perspective of due process as a fundamental right and explore issues that make it a primary guarantee from a procedural standpoint. To achieve this, we studied its origin, definition, scope, and prerequisites, employing techniques such as document analysis for data collection. The study of due process is of great significance for the legal community, as its comprehension encompasses collective notions of a series of derived rights and principles. From legal education to the practice of law in any ordinary court or even in constitutional justice, the focus is primarily on the strict respect and protection of fundamental rights, especially due process. Hence, it is established as the principal safeguard for citizens. This concept is reinforced in a democratic rule of law that confronts acts of arbitrariness or abuse, particularly in the context of a judicial process where there are possibilities of certain actions being detrimental to due process.
