Substantive Due Process, Privacy, and Other Liberties

Credentials in Constitutional Law document competencies including knowledge of the U.S. Constitution’s creation of facilities and structures for the separation of powers, allocation of powers between federal and state government, judicial review, congressional authority, presidential and agency powers, and protections of individual rights. Though many of these positions require appropriate education at various levels and additional training, a fundamental understanding of constitutional law provides a foundation that supports many aspects of daily tasks and decision-making. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain the Court's application to individual privacy of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments' Due Process Clauses, as well as their relevance to economic liberties, when considered with the Article I Contract Clause and the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause.
