State C enacted the Family Integrity Act. One section bars any person with more than $10,000 in unpaid civil debt judgments from obtaining a marriage license unless a judge finds that the person has made "substantial progress" toward payment. Another section requires all children to attend public school unless a parent obtains approval from a state board that may deny private or home instruction whenever it believes public school would provide "better civic values." A third section requires anyone paid to prepare family-budget plans to obtain a state financial-counselor license.
An engaged couple, a parent who wants to homeschool for religious and pedagogical reasons, and an unlicensed budget planner bring a substantive due process challenge.
Analyze the likely level of scrutiny and constitutional outcome for each challenged section.
