The determination of whether the government acted properly and the type of hearing that Kathy must be provided is an analysis of procedural due process. The government cannot deprive individuals of their property without following certain procedures, which includes providing a hearing. This is a violation of procedural due process if not followed. Substantial due process deals with the actual substance of the law and whether it violates certain rights or liberties. The Equal Protection Clause deals with discrimination and treating similarly situated individuals differently. The Commerce Clause deals with Congress's power to regulate commerce between states. None of these are directly applicable to Kathy's situation.
