The mandate for the state to treat individuals equally under the law.
The protection against arbitrary government actions that infringe on personal liberties.
The necessity for the state to have a legitimate reason for taking action against an individual.
The requirement for the state to follow fair procedures before depriving an individual of a protected interest.
Procedural due process mandates that the government follow fair procedures before depriving an individual of a protected interest.

The other options relate to different aspects of constitutional law but do not directly address the procedural safeguards required.
