Why did the due process clause need to be added even though it was already in the U. S. Constitution?

There was no provision for those states west of the Mississippi.

It was the only way for the amendment to pass in both houses of Congress.

Northern blacks were being denied some of their basic rights.

The clause needed to be added on a state level, not just Federal.

D. The clause needed to be added on a state level, not just Federal.

Explanation:

The fourteenth and fifth constitution amendments of the constitution in America involve a due process. The process deals with justice administration and the clause acts as an arbitrary denial in safeguarding the property and liberty by the state from outside. The American court, however, states that the provision is divided into the section to give four different protections both in general proceedings and civil law protection. The process of substantive protects vague laws and acts as a vehicle of incorporation rights.
