What type of test does the US Supreme Court apply to laws defining racial classification?
Strict scrutiny
What test does the Supreme Court use in discrimination cases?
Rational basis test for economic issues, strict scrutiny test for racial and fundamental liberty issues, and midlevel scrutiny for gender issues
What fulfill the bases of the strict scrutiny test?
The guidelines used by the court to determine the legality of all but sex-based discrimination. Discrimination is legal if it is a necessary means by which the government can achieve a compelling public interest.
Is it true that criminal laws that infringe First Amendment freedoms are subjected to strict scrutiny by the courts?
All suspected infringements of any Constitutional Amendment are subjected to review of the United States Supreme Court for their interpretation.
What degree of scrutiny does the US Supreme Court require for death penalty appeals?
The US Supreme Court requires "heightened scrutiny" for death penalty appeals. Heightened scrutiny is an intermediate level of judicial review between "strict scrutiny" and "rational basis." To withstand the heightened scrutiny test, the law or policy must "further an important government interest by means that are substantially related to that interest.""The standard of review for an appeal from a capital murder conviction and death sentence is that of "heightened scrutiny"; all doubts are to be resolved in favor of the accused because what may be harmless error in a case with less at stake becomes reversible error when the penalty is death." Thorson v. State, 2007 WL 2446474 (Miss. 2007)
According to the Supreme Court what standards must laws that discriminate between groups meet?
The strict scrutiny test; the state must be able to show that some "compelling governmental interest" justifies the distinctions it has drawn between classes of people.
What test does the US Supreme Court use to determine the validity of laws that discriminate between groups of people?
The US Supreme Court often applies two levels of scrutiny to laws that may discriminate against groups of people. The rational basis test is always applied first when a state or federal statute is challenged as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. In order for the law to survive the first challenge, the Court must be satisfied that the law is "rationally related to a legitimate government interest."If a law, policy or executive order has a detrimental effect on an identifiable class of people (women, ethnic minorities, etc.), it must meet the higher standard of strict scrutiny, requiring the law serve a compelling government interest (compelling is not defined, but is understood to represent a higher level of legitimacy); be narrowly tailored to do no more than achieve the specific compelling interest; and must use the least restrictive means to accomplish this end.In a study of federal cases that underwent strict scrutiny between 1990 and 2003, "Fatal in Theory and Strict in Fact: An Empirical Analysis of Strict Scrutiny in the Federal Court," Adam Winkler of the UCLA School of Law, discovered the application of strict scrutiny in federal courts resulted in approximately 30% of the laws being upheld, and 70% being overturned, overall.Winkler contends the results are highly context-sensitive relative to the entity that passed the law: 50% of federal laws withstand this level of review; while only 29% of state statutes and 17% of city ordinances are likely to be upheld.Statistics also vary depending on the type of law undergoing constitutional analysis. According to Winkler, "...27% of suspect classifications, 22% of free speech restrictions, 24% of fundamental rights infringements, 33% of freedom of association burdens, and 59% of religious liberty burdens adjudicated under strict scrutiny survive."Winkler, Adam, Fatal in Theory and Strict in Fact: An Empirical Analysis of Strict Scrutiny in the Federal Courts.

What does the Supreme Court interpretation of freedom of religion require?
The Supreme Court applies "strict scrutiny" to judicial review of laws or policies involving the First Amendment Free Exercise Clause.Strict scrutiny, the highest level of judicial review, employs a three-prong test that a law or policy must withstand to be considered constitutional.The law/policy must involve a "compelling government interest," a concept generally defined as vital to the government or its citizens, such as national security.The law/policy must be "narrowly tailored" to address only issue or activity necessary to achieve its goal.The law/policy must use the "least restrictive means" possible to achieve its goal.Approximately 70% of the laws or policies subject to strict scrutiny are overturned.
