In substantive due process, the reasonableness of the law is all of the following EXCEPT which?A) reflects political beliefs B) depends on economic...

The best answer of the ones that you have given us is
D.


Substantive due process was a legal idea that was
important to constitutional law in the US until the 1930s.  The idea of substantive due
process was that the due process clauses of the 5th and 14th Amendments prohibited the
government from making laws that were (in the eyes of the courts) unreasonable
infringements on the fundamental liberties of the
people.


Following the idea of SDP, the courts struck down
many laws that regulated economic activity.  They ruled that such laws (like minimum
wage laws) were unreasonable infringements on people's liberties (the liberty to make
whatever contract they wanted, in the case of a minimum wage law).  During the time that
they were doing this, the courts would strike down laws based on the judges' own ideas
as to what was and was not reasonable.  For this reason, A, B, and C are correct
statements.  That leaves D as the right answer.
