Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Courts employ certain well-settled tests to determine the validity of legislation enacted for the protection of the public health, safety, welfare, or morals. All legislation will be presumed constitutional if there is any reasonable theory to that end, Hamilton v. State, 366 So.2d 8 (Fla. 1978); Golden v. McCarty, 337 So.2d 388 (Fla. 1976); Bonvento v. Board of Public Instruction of Palm Beach County, 194 So.2d 605 (Fla. 1967) legislation is valid if it may be reasonably construed as expedient for the protection of the public health, safety, welfare or morals, Newman v. Carson, 280 So.2d 426 (Fla. 1973); where the police power is exercised in the area of economic regulation, it is valid if the `means utilized bear a rational or reasonable relationship to a legitimate state objective,' Belk-James, Inc. v. Nuzum, 358 So.2d 174, 175 (Fla. 1978); and a court may not substitute its judgment as to the wisdom and policy of the law for that of the legislative body, Holley v. Adams, 238 So.2d 401 (Fla. 1970); State v. Reese, 222 So.2d 732 (Fla. 1969). The tests employed to determine the validity of an ordinance and a statute are nearly identical. See City of Miami v. Keyfetz, 92 So.2d 798 (Fla. 1957); State v. Sawyer, 346 So.2d 1071 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977).”
