Question

Assume that State University institutes a curfew for the female students who live on campus. To protect both the safety and morals of its female population, State University requires that the female students be in their dorms by 1:00 a.m. every night. There is no curfew for male students because they are less likely to be victims of attacks. If Nellie Nightowl wants to protest, which provision of the Constitution will she claim is being violated?

Answer 1

Intermediate Scrutiny

Step-by-step explanation:

Intermediate Scrutiny is the term used to refer to the request made by the government to consider whether a specific law is addressing a really important issue and whether there is a concrete relationship between the subject the law is addressing and any legal prescription. Intermediate Scrutiny is often used to ascertain the constitutionality of a law that has been questioned as a factor of gender discrimination and restriction of liberty, as Nellie Nightowl believes is happening at her university that has imposed a law that prevents the freedom of women only.
