Montemayor and Gray were working together on a farm operating a large piece of heavy machinery that is used to collect discarded food and crush it together in order to make food for pigs. The discarded food sometimes clogs the machine, causes it to stop operating, and needs to be fixed in order for the machine to run properly again. There are two ways to fix the machine when it clogs and stops operating: someone can crawl inside the machine and use their hands or a small tool to pick off clumps of food that caused the clog, or the machine can be switched to run in reverse mode which sometimes removes the clog on its own. When Montemayor and Gray’s machine clogged, Montemayor climbed inside the machine to manually attempt to remove the clogged food. Gray had no idea that Montemayor was inside the machine because he could not see him, and he manually switched the machine to run in reverse and started the machine up to see if it would unclog itself on its own. Because Montemayor was inside the machine when Gray started it up, Montemayor was crushed by the machine and had to have both of his legs amputated. Montemayor later sued Sebright Products, Inc., the company that manufactured the machine, in a strict liability product defect lawsuit claiming the product was defective because it was designed to allow someone to start it up in reverse mode without being able to see whether anyone was inside the machine attempting to manually remove a clog. If the jury in this case ruled in Sebright’s favor, it would most likely be because of what reason? 

Big Tech, Inc. is a large private company based in Columbia, Missouri. Big Tech Inc. wishes to build a laboratory near Mizzou that would be used to develop new products that would help the general public, and this laboratory would be open to the public for general use. Big Tech wants to build the new laboratory on a vacant lot near campus that is currently owned by a Columbia resident named Susette Velo. Big Tech approached Velo and offers to buy the real estate from her at a price that is well above the fair market value of the land, but Velo refuses to sell the property because she does not want them to build the laboratory. Could Big Tech, Inc. use any of its constitutional rights to force Velo to give up her land?
