A state bans interracial marriage. Which scrutiny level should a court apply to this classification?
A
Apply intermediate scrutiny because marriage is important but not fundamental; the state must show an important interest and substantial relation.
B
Apply rational basis because marriage regulation is traditionally left to states; any conceivable legitimate purpose is enough to uphold the law.
C
Apply strict scrutiny because race is a suspect classification; the state must prove a compelling interest and narrow tailoring.
D
No scrutiny applies because the Equal Protection Clause only forbids discrimination by private actors, not state governments.
E
Apply strict scrutiny only if Congress passes a statute first; courts cannot invalidate state race classifications without federal legislation.
