Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Congress used a rational basis for applying federal regulations to a small restaurant in Katzenbach v. McClung. The rational basis test is a low level of scrutiny that is used to uphold laws that are not based on a suspect classification or that do not infringe on a fundamental right. In this case, the Court found that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a valid exercise of Congress's commerce power and that it was rationally related to the legitimate government interest of eliminating discrimination in public accommodations.
