Question

Which describes discrimination that is allowed under the Equal Protection Clause?

A-Groups of people may be classified in a reasonable way.
B-Majority groups have more rights than the minorities.
C-Minority groups have fewer rights than the majority.
D-Certain religions cannot be established or practiced.

Answer 1

The Equal Protection Clause is found in the Fourteenth Amendment in the United States Constitution. The clause offers that no state shall reject to any individual in its jurisdiction "the equal protection of the laws.” This clause groups people in a very reasonable way. So therefore, the answer is A.

Answer 2

Considering it, the correct answer is that groups of people may be classified in a reasonable way.

The clause says that:

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States"

So the other answers are wrong because they put an individual above another and that should never be the case.
