正当法律程序是美国一项著名的法律制度,对世界各国的法治建设都有深刻影响。受制于对程序认识的若干偏差,人们对正当法律程序价值的认识总是带有片面性,缺乏对其真正价值的认识。程序有自己的独立价值,正当法律程序也并非工具主义的程序。从宪政意义上讲,正当法律程序是美国法治大厦的支柱之一。 Due process is a well-known legal system in the United States that exerts a profound influence on the rule of law in all countries in the world. Subject to certain deviations from understanding of the procedure, people’s awareness of the value of due process is always one-sided and their understanding of their true value is lacking. Procedures have their own independent value, while due process of law is not an instrumental procedure. In constitutional terms, due process of law is one of the pillars of the rule of law building in the United States.
