What is "Ordered Liberty"?

Answer 1

"A concept in constitutional law that the due process requirements applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution do not incorporate all the provisions of the first 10 amendments (the so-called Bill of Rights), but only those measures essential for the preservation of a scheme of "ordered liberty." All that is meant is that due process contains within itself certain minimum standards which are ‘of the very essence of a scheme of ordered liberty.'" 332 U.S. 46, 65 n. 28 quoting 302 U.S. 319, 325."

"The restrictive view of due process expressed by this doctrine has been largely replaced today by a broader view of incorporating nearly all of the Bill of Rights as a national standard of fundamental fairness. If a right embodied in the Bill of Rights is "fundamental to the American scheme of justice," it will today be regarded as applicable to the states through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. See 391 U.S. 145. For instance, the right to trial by jury, recognized almost universally in American law, has been held applicable to the states in all but petty cases, which have been defined as those involving possible sanctions involving less than six months imprisonment. New York City alone in the nation defined petty in terms of one year which was held to be an impermissible deviation from the national norm. See 399 U.S. 66."
