Juan Hernandez Hi Juan, thanks. Your professor probably wanted to get into more detail quickly. Anyway, I hope that the video helps. I do have a forum now where students can assist each other and I have a blog, too, where you can search for topics and pose questions. Best of success to you. www.uslawessentials.com/forum www.uslawessentials.com/blog
Quodos. Simple and straightforward. I am doing a radical career shift from biological sciences to law at age 50 and struggle with the high levels of subjectivity I have to assimilate.

Taking a Constitutional/Civil Liberties course now and this video was very helpful in further explaining where the textbook didn't do so well. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I have a list of topics and videos that I'll be adding more detail to, this is on the list. BTW, I have a forum now uslawessentials.com/forum and blog uslawessentials.com/blog if you'd like to share thoughts or questions.
Is a law constitutional? 2 factors. Value of purpose (ends) axis, Policy method (means) axis Why did government pass the law (aim, PURPOSE, intent)? What are the methods of the POLICY to achieve the purpose? 3 Tests.... strict scrutiny - (Method {policy/law/rule} is narrowly taylored/least restrictive to achieving the purpose) Compelling purpose intermediate scrutiny - (Method is has substantive relationship to achieving the purpose) Important purpose rational basis - (Method has a rational relation to achieving the purpose) Legitimate purpose This makes almost no sense. Are there examples of this application? Abortion? Gun control? Speech? I thought constitutionality was about comparing the statute to the constitution. Comparing the specific rule (the executable and a direct type of aim) to a more conceptual or principled idea (not specific enough to hit the target but endowed with the intent of shooting towards the target). Looking for a contradiction in direction and asking if the alignment of aims are not in the same direction.
Hi Bridie, did you read the case? Notice the year is 1973. If this question is for a class you are almost certainly being asked to trace the roots of the intermediate scrutiny test. The test really first appeared a few years after this but note how the court addresses whether heightened scrutiny should apply to gender based discrimination. Hope that helps.
+Asad Jaleel Hi Asad. Well, the traditional answer is yes, intermediate scrutiny applies to gender classifications. And that's the safest answer on a test. But it is better to read the cases to get a better idea of what the courts are really doing.
+USLawEssentials I always have thought that the intermediate has to do with gender, strict scrutiny has to do with if race or natural rights are involved, and the rational basis test is just what's its basic purpose even though it has nothing to do with rights
+Zack Martin Zach, yes intermediate scrutiny has been applied to cases involving gender and strict scrutiny has been applied to cases involving race. Depending on the circumstances, strict or intermediate scrutiny may be applied to cases involving speech. Judges have applied different tests to cases involving religion. I suggest that it is best to look at the cases. For example, will courts always apply strict scrutiny to affirmative action cases?
Ann, thanks. If there are other topics you have an interest in let me know. I'll also be making material available that goes into topics a bit more deeply. uslawessentials.squarespace.com
There should be only Strict scrutiny when your freedom is at stake! All other Scrutiny is Unconditional! Anything but strict scrutiny is just activism!
You clarified this for me in 4 minutes and my professor could not do it for me in one class. Great video! Thanks.

Thanks. Updated version of the video is here: ruclips.net/video/5Z2S6qS1KlY/видео.html
In under five minutes you have simplified with me more than 45 pages to figure out. Thank you
Thanks AW. Updated version of the video is here: ruclips.net/video/5Z2S6qS1KlY/видео.html Let me know if you have any questions.
Albert Wilson I second that!
Your presentation and the way you express it was perfect for me to understand this material. English is my second language. You are a great professor.
Your basic explanation made this analysis so clear to me. Thank you. We need more professors like you in law school.

Wow. 4 minutes.......this man is a GOD.
Great way to describe a complex topic. Thanks for the straight forward explanation
Great job! Your explanation is very clear. You helped me with my assignment. Thank you.
Thank you this was very helpful for me in understanding the differences.
A have a paper due in a hour and this helped so much..
Hands down, you are better than crash course xD they just ramble and ramble... making things so complicated xD
Would you do an analysis of the state law of imposing lifetime satellite-based monitoring as a rationale law, etc?
Is a law constitutional?
2 factors. Value of purpose (ends) axis, Policy method (means) axis
Why did government pass the law (aim, PURPOSE, intent)?
What are the methods of the POLICY to achieve the purpose?
3 Tests....
strict scrutiny - (Method {policy/law/rule} is narrowly taylored/least restrictive to achieving the purpose) Compelling purpose
intermediate scrutiny - (Method is has substantive relationship to achieving the purpose) Important purpose
rational basis - (Method has a rational relation to achieving the purpose) Legitimate purpose
This makes almost no sense. Are there examples of this application? Abortion? Gun control? Speech?

Awesome video. Thanks!
Thanks for such important information.
oh man you are saving my day with this I'm in moot court
+iwasateenageneocon Moot court's a lot of fun. I hope you're liking it. What's the issue in your case?
So good! Thank you
what cases did the court applied to rational basis ?
I wish you were my professor
Thanks JL. If you have any questions let me know. Also, you might find my blog helpful. uslawessentials.com/blog
He is my professor, I’m lucky to have him
Can you tell me how this factored into Frontiero v. Richardson?
Hi Bridie, did you read the case? Notice the year is 1973. If this question is for a class you are almost certainly being asked to trace the roots of the intermediate scrutiny test. The test really first appeared a few years after this but note how the court addresses whether heightened scrutiny should apply to gender based discrimination. Hope that helps.
For a classic example of strict vs intermediate scrutiny see NYSRPA vs Bruen.
Speed up the voice a little and its great !
This is the updated version: ruclips.net/video/5Z2S6qS1KlY/видео.html
was Williamson v. Lee Optical a rational basis cases ?
+Margiett Gil Yup. Most important here is to think about why this was a rational basis test and not a more stringent test.
Great video
You should give some examples
This page includes some examples: uslawessentials.com/cases-rational-intermediate-strict-scrutiny/
Someone needs to send Rudy this video

what is rational basis with a bite?
It's a no win case for the government. Kind of like a grand jury, you're indicted. Period.
I loved the video, but really really really disliked the popup boxes. Big distraction :(
That was well done! Thank you!!!
+Cat Facts Sure CF. It's an older video but I hope it was helpful.
Why dont we just apply strict scrutiny to everything why would you NOT want to scrutinize something to make sure there no mistakes.
Thanks!
very helpful videos, thank you!
Ann, thanks. If there are other topics you have an interest in let me know. I'll also be making material available that goes into topics a bit more deeply.
