Smith v. Davis green
tex · 1968
1 sentence

1969As recently as 1968 the Supreme Court, in Smith v. Davis, 426 S.W.2d 827 , pointed out that in passing on the constitutionality of a statute, the court begins with the presumption of validity and presumes that the Legislature has not acted unreasonably or arbitrarily; and therefore a mere difference of opinion, where reasonable minds could differ, is not a sufficient basis for striking down legislation as arbitrary or unreasonable.
