    Procedural Due Process

    Valued as one of the most substantial legal doctrines, due process was developed from the English common law. The due process clause was seen as a vital guarantee that all legal proceedings will be impartial and that everyone is given notice of proceedings and an opportunity to be heard before the government restricts a person's life, liberty, or property. It acts as a safety net from arbitrary denial of those things previously mentioned (Carey, 2011). The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments both contain a due process clause that limits the power of the federal and state governments and both state that no person shall be "deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." (Carey, 2011, para. 1)…

    All atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The classical model of the atom consists of a positively charged nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, and a number of negatively charged electrons in orbit about the nucleus. The simplest form of the model pictures electrons as tiny particles which circle the nucleus in definite orbits similar to the orbits of the planets about the sun. Though this model is useful in visualizing electrical processes, it must be pointed out that it is quite inadequate for describing the details of atomic structure. These details can be explained with the methods of quantum mechanics, the branch of physics used to describe molecular and atomic phenomena. The usefulness of the orbital model of the atom is based upon the fact that the physical parameters of electrons are “quantized” and can take on only certain discrete values.…
