The Due Process Clause of the 5th Amendment was used to strike down the definition of marriage as per the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The clause guarantees that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. In Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), the Supreme Court used this clause to rule that denying same-sex couples the right to marry violated their due process rights.
