(ASAP APEX) Which government action best reflects the principle of substantive due process rather than procedural due process?

A. The citizens of a small town are able to vote on new laws proposed by the city council.
B. A city orders reforms to prevent prosecutors from unfairly targeting racial minorities.
C. A state passes a bill to ensure that those accused of crimes are quickly informed.
D. Congress votes to repeal a law that unfairly limited religious minorities' free speech rights.

Respuesta :

D. Congress votes to repeal a law that unfairly linger religious minorities’ free speech rights.

The correct answer is "D".

In comparison from procedural due process, which protects an individual from the coercive power of the government by ensuring that adjudication processes are impartial, substantive due process protects individuals against majoritarian policy enactments that exceed the limits of the government's authority.

In this case, Congress finds a law which limits religious minorities free speech rights as excess to government authority and therefore votes in order to repeal it.
