The Supreme Court applied the strict scrutiny test in Hughes v. Oklahoma, which is the most stringent form of judicial review applied in constitutional law. This test is applied when a law or policy infringes upon a fundamental right, and requires that the government demonstrate a compelling interest and show that the law is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. In this case, the Court found that Oklahoma's ban on the export of minnows violated the Commerce Clause and was not narrowly tailored to achieve the state's interest in preserving its natural resources.
