Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is correct. Strict scrutiny is a judicial standard used to determine the constitutionality of laws or government actions that classify people based on their belonging to a suspect class such as race, national origin, or religion. It requires the government to show that the classification serves a compelling governmental interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest.
