Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Strict scrutiny is the test applied to classifications of people based on a suspect class, which includes race, ethnicity, and national origin. This test requires that the government have a compelling interest in the classification and that the means used to achieve that interest be narrowly tailored and the least restrictive means possible. Intermediate scrutiny applies to classifications based on gender, while intellectual basis and cogent basis are not legal tests used in this context.
