Practice question
A law draws an ordinary nonsuspect economic distinction with no fundamental-right or heightened-scrutiny trigger established. A challenger demands mathematical identity of every factual detail as the sole standard. Which proposition in Albano matters?
- Reasonable classification does not require mathematical nicety; the applicable rational-basis inquiry still examines arbitrariness
- Every minor inequality automatically invalidates legislation
- No distinction is ever permissible
- The absence of strict scrutiny means no review
- The challenger’s preferred policy is automatically the Constitution
