Question

The _____ protects people from arbitrary government interference with their life, liberty, or property rights. Select one: a. procedural due process b. substantive due process c. equal protection clause of the fifteenth amendment d. due process clause of the sixth amendment

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) procedural due process.

The procedural due process protects people from arbitrary government interference with their life, liberty, or property rights.

We are referring to an important clause called the Due Process that is part of the 5th and the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. This means that the government will not deprive any United States citizen of its life, liberty or property, basic rights stated in the Constitution. If the government would act against these rights of a person, it has to notify the individual so it can be heard in court and have a fair trial.
