Q: I'm currently studying for an exam, and I need to know how about metaphysics in regards to due process.
I've looked over my notes and textbook but have found nothing on the matter. Thank you!
That’s a tough one. It’s no surprise you weren’t able to find anything. Due process is a constitutional protection against the taking of one’s life, liberty, or property by the government without first applying certain legal measures. It’s hard to see the connection.

Q: If one is fired without cause & is denied due process, is her property interest in the job considered "personal injury"?
This relates to 14th Amendment rights. All state remedies for unlawful termination and breach-of-contract complaints have been exhausted.

Similarly, employees in the private sector typically have no property interest in their job, whereas a public employee may. Your question... Read more »

Police have already investigated past reports. They go into the pile of dust or the pile that is transmitted to the state's attorney. It is unlikely.

Establishment Clause in the Constitution is a restriction on Congress.
