AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.13
How does the Strict Scrutiny standard differ from Intermediate Scrutiny in judicial review of affirmative action policies?
Strict scrutiny allows more governmental discretion as compared to intermediate scrutiny in reviewing discriminatory practices.
Only strict scrutiny applies to discrimination cases under Equal Protection Clause while intermediate scrutiny is applicable for cases outside this clause.
Both standards require a law or policy to be narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling governmental interest.
Strict scrutiny requires a compelling government interest and narrowly tailored policy, while intermediate scrutiny only requires an important government objective and substantially related means.
