Explain the difference between the strict scrutiny test, intermediate scrutiny test, and the rational basis test
What will be an ideal response?
In cases where a suspect classification is involved, the government must meet the strict scrutiny test–it must show that its suspect form of discrimination is necessary (narrowly tailored) to meet a compelling governmental interest. In cases involving a semi-suspect form of discrimination, the government must satisfy the intermediate scrutiny test–it must show that its semi-suspect form of discrimination is substantially related to an important governmental interest. And in cases where the discrimination is non-suspect, the government must satisfy the rational basis test–it must show that its non-suspect distinction is rationally related to a legitimate governmental interest.
