retirement benefits that are, in part, based upon the person’s earned income and age of retirement. A
budget crisis and declining workforce has caused Congress to terminate the retirement benefits under
the Social Security Act. Susan Smith, a twenty-year old woman who is about to enter the workforce for
the first-time files suit, alleging that she has a fundamental right to receive retirement benefits from the
government. Following the due process test set forth in Washington v. Glucksberg, which asks whether
an asserted right is deeply rooted in the history and traditions of our nation and therefore implicit in the
concept of ordered liberty, please constitutionally analyze Ms. Smith’s claim. You also should consider
whether there is any argument to be made that Ms. Smith is not a proper plaintiff because she has not
