Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strict scrutiny test is used to validate agency rules that apply to a suspect class or that impinge on a fundamental right. This is the highest level of scrutiny applied by courts and requires the government to show that the rule serves a compelling government interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. The rational relationship test (A) is the lowest level of scrutiny and is used for cases that do not involve a suspect class or fundamental right. The substantial relationship test (B) and coherent analysis test (C) are not commonly used tests for agency rules.
