The phrase “no person shall be held to answer for a criminal offense without due process of law” is demonstrated in the Due Process Clause , which in the U.S. Bill of Rights appears in the Fifth Amendment.

More specifically:

  • The Fifth Amendment states that no person shall be deprived of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” which is the core due process protection in the Bill of Rights.
  • A similar due process protection is later repeated for actions by the states in Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment , but that is part of the post–Civil War amendments, not the original Bill of Rights.

So, if your question is limited strictly to the Bill of Rights, the correct section is: Fifth Amendment (Due Process Clause).

TL;DR:
That wording is an expression of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment in the U.S. Bill of Rights.
