$(6)$

Califormia has recently passed a statute under Title VII prohibiting discrimination on the basis of national origin. Patty, a citizen of Ireland, is denied employment with the State on grounds that he does not possess the necessary qualifications to work. The State only hires workers with U$.$S$.$ passports and workers that can pass a standardized test at training school. Patty challenges this lack of hiring in Federal Court on ${14}^{th}$ amendment equal protection grounds that he has been unlawfully discriminated against. What test will the court use to evaluate the law?

The government must show that its classification serves a compelling state interest and that the classification is necessary to serve that interest $($Strict Scrutiny$).$

Patty must show that the classification does not serve State interests and that the government violated his $14$ th amendment rights $($Executive Scrutiny$).$

The government must show that the classification is rationally related to serving a legitimate state interest $($Rational Basis Review$).$

The government must show that its classification serves an important state interest and the classification is substantially related to that interest $($Intermediate Scrutiny$).$
