The city of East Cleveland had a municipal ordinance that regulated who could live together as a family in a single-family dwelling unit. Inez Moore, an elderly grandmother, was convicted of violating the ordinance because she had two grandsons who were cousins living in the same house with her, and that living arrangement could not be considered a single family under the definition of family in the ordinance. She appealed her conviction on constitutional grounds. Which of the following statements is true?
a. As long as the ordinance was properly passed by the appropriate legislative body in East Cleveland, the judiciary cannot review her conviction.
b. The city's restrictive definition of family may violate Mrs. Moore's substantive due process rights.
c. Any rights of the individual with respect to family matters are not expressly included in the Bill of Rights and, as a result, cannot be made a part of due process.
d. Such a narrow definition of family is made mandatory under federal statutory law, the primary legislation that regulates family matters.
