[The Constitution] is made for people of fundamentally differing views, and the accident of our finding certain opinions natural
and familiar or novel and even shocking ought not to conclude our judgment upon the question whether statutes embodying them conflict with the Constitution of the United States. This quote from the 1905 dissent to the Lochner v. New York decision tells us that
Question 1 options:
A. the Constitution exists to put forth a single view of good governance.
B. the divisions among people will be solved by the Constitution.
C. whether a view is familiar or shocking does not determine if it is constitutional.
D. the Constitution contains nothing shocking.
C. whether a view is familiar or shocking does not determine if it is constitutional.
Explanation:
In other words, what the quote indicates is that the Constitution was created for people and, as everybody knows, people are different. In this way, opinions will not affect all individuals in the same way, and they are not responsible for deciding about the constitutionality of the statutes which represent these opinions.
