"What is the reasonableness standard?"

Answer: the standard that allows a law to stand if it relates to a legitimate government interest.

Explanation (brief): also called the rational-basis or reasonableness test, it is the least stringent level of judicial scrutiny — a law is upheld if it is rationally related to a legitimate government purpose.
