Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the Supreme Court reviews the constitutionality of laws, it applies either rational review, intermediate review or strict scrutiny. The choice of which level of review to apply depends on the nature of the law being reviewed, but strict scrutiny is reserved for laws that implicate fundamental rights, suspect classifications (such as race), or fundamental interests (such as voting). Intermediate scrutiny applies to laws based on gender or illegitimacy, while rational review applies to a majority of cases involving economic or social legislation.
