This video introduces three tests that court may apply to determine whether a law is constitutional or not. This is an updated version of an older video. You can find examples of cases decided under these tests here:

This video would be significantly better if you provided real world examples of all three.

Do basic pleadings of a case have discovery requests? No right? They have a complaint and answer, and counterclaims.

So does the court apply all three tests to see 1 or all fail?
How many, or which need to fail for a law to be invalid??

Helpful. But which test would the court do to see if it’s constitutional for a state university to require all students at a university to take a black history class ? I can’t choose one. Please help, thank you!!

A member of an exclusive private country club is caught stealing another member's golf clubs. Prior to deciding whether to terminate the member's membership what should happen? The club must provide the member with a due process by giving the member notice and an opportunity to respond, OR the club must provide the member with a rational basis for the decision, . OR the club must provide the member equal protection that ensures that the member is treated fairly OR does the club not have to provide the member any due process because it is a private club? PLS HELP THANKS! :)

A law or government activity is an interesting distinction. The activity is just the execution of the law, so that seems the same in some sense.

Isn't all law legitimate, unless the public process of government wasn't followed, and is technically unjust? I find it interesting that a judge would be making value decisions around the importance of the law (legitimate, important, and compelling). That makes it rather difficult to be objective. I suppose that any new area of legal systems, or judicial precedents, will be biased in that their is little legislative input.
