Answer : Super due process

Explanation:

The "super due process" is an extension of "due process".

The 'due process' can be explained as the privilege or opportunity that is extended or given to the citizens to have a chance to comment or have a say on the decisions made by the governments.

Now, the 'super due process' is established by the judiciary especially the supreme court, where it is made known that only 'cruel and unusual punishment' should require capital punishment like sentencing to death.

In this case, there will be a reassurance that the worst of the worst criminals may be executed, that is sentenced to death.
