In cases involving alleged race discrimination, SCOTUS uses which "test" to guide its thinking?
A. Conditional basis
B. Rational basis
C. Intermediate Basis
D. Strict scrutiny
As we know that, a discrimination based on once race is racial discrimination. Rational based test is less intensive than strict scrutiny or an intermediate review that involves a determination of whether a statutory or regulatory classification of persons (as by age or offender status) has a rational basis and does not deny equal protection under the Constitution if the classification neither affects person.
The correct option is (d).
Strict scrutiny test.
We know that strict scrutiny test are considered more stringent than the rational basis test. The rational basis test is generally used when in cases where no fundamental rights or suspect classifications are at issue.
Hope you got the answer.
