Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substantive due process is a constitutional doctrine that says that laws that affect fundamental rights must be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest. If a law is too broad or too vague, or if it infringes on a fundamental right without a compelling reason, it may be struck down as a violation of substantive due process. Therefore, a law that limits a fundamental right may be held to violate substantive due process.
