Question

A local school district had a policy that it would not hire bus drivers who had been convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol. Sven claimed that this practice violated the Equal Protection Clause by unfairly excluding everyone who had been found guilty of DUI. Which standard will the court use to review the bus company's practice?

A strict scrutiny.
B intermediate scrutiny.
C minimal scrutiny.
D Supremacy Clause scrutiny.

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimal scrutiny is a way to challenge something in court which does not need any sort of approval or constitutional law. Over the years, this law has been used to review a case. In the above scenario, the company has been applying a policy which excludes drivers who were previously convicted; minimal scrutiny will be used by the court to review the bus company’s practice.
