Resolved: Not all legislative enactments are entitled to a ‘presumption’ of constitutionality… None where interests are protected.

In the law of the United States, the presumption of constitutionality presumes that all statutes are drafted in accordance with Federal and state constitutional requirements. The party challenging the constitutionality of a statute bears the burden of proof, and any doubts are resolved against that party. If there are two reasonable interpretations of a statute, one of which is constitutional and the other not, the courts choose the path that permits upholding the statute.[16]
This global universal rule which is premised upon something false when interests of the individual legislators are involved such as districting.
NO presumptions regarding districting or almost all regulations of voting which lessen the chances of a citizen voting.
