	Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
		Early on, the Supreme Court limited the reach of the Amendment by holding in the Slaughterhouse Cases (1871) that the "privileges and immunities" clause was limited to "privileges and immunities" granted to citizens by the federal government.
		The Fourteenth Amendment not only empowered the federal courts to intervene in this area to enforce the guarantee of due process and the equal protection of the laws, but to import the substantive rights of free speech, freedom of religion, protection from unreasonable searches and cruel and unusual punishment and other limitations on governmental power.

	1997-068 \| 8/4/1997 \| Kansas Attorney General Opinion
		Based on the United States Supreme Court's definition of "property" it is our opinion that the holder of a cosmetology license, cosmetology technician license, manicurist license or electrologist license has a property interest in the license which is protected by the Due Process Clause of Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
		The constitutional basis to which we are immediately drawn is the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, commonly known as the Due Process Clause which provides as follows:
		The questions to be asked concerning a possible substantive due process violation are whether the legislation has a real and substantial relation to the objective sought, whether it is reasonable in relation to the subject, and whether it was adopted in the interest of the community.

Id.
		The Court of Appeals then interpreted Code Section 20-124.2(B) to permit the state to interfere with the right of parents to raise their child by allowing a court to order nonparent visitation upon a showing by clear and convincing evidence that the best interests of the child would be served by such visitation.
		We agree with the Court of Appeals' Discussion holding there is no constitutional infirmity in the applicable statutes and with that court's interpretation, as we have summarized it, placed upon the statutes.
