2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Substantive due process analysis requires a test of reasonableness of a statute in relation to the State’s power to enact such legislation. The essence of substantive due process is that the State cannot use its police power to take unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious action against an individual. In order to satisfy substantive due process guarantees, a statute enacted under a state’s police power must be reasonably related to a permissible legislative objective.”
