Practice question
An official permanently deprives a business of an existing protected entitlement without notice or opportunity to answer. The only reason for haste is that officials want a positive press announcement that afternoon; no immediate danger or other exception exists. Which conclusion follows?
- Any desired announcement establishes constitutional urgency
- A press deadline automatically displaces protected rights
- The asserted publicity timetable does not establish the genuine exception needed to omit the required opportunity to be heard
- The official’s confidence always replaces process
- Due process applies only if the owner is a citizen
