Practice question
A city defends a classification burdening a fundamental right. It establishes a compelling safety objective but offers no justification for choosing a much broader restriction over an equally effective, substantially less restrictive measure. What issue remains?
- Only whether the ordinance has a short title.
- Whether the chosen means satisfy narrow tailoring or least-restrictive-means review.
- Whether the mayor personally likes the alternative.
- Whether every resident agrees with regulation.
- No issue, because a compelling end automatically validates every means.
