Rational basis
editDon't worry about your constitutional law background. You can edit the article and other people will help you out. Just make sure to cite sources when you need to. It is important that the article gets clarified. I'm not sure of the exact phrases off the top of my head, but I believe the rational basis test is something like a government action "rationally related to a legitimate government interest" which includes such things as police powers ("health, welfare, and morals"). Rational basis is used instead of intermediate or strict scrutiny when the state's actions or legislation involve a non-suspect class of individuals (i.e., the class of people involved are not being discriminated against on account of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and probably a couple of others).
If you work on it any, I'll definitely check it to make sure it all seems right, and I'm sure there are other people would do the same. The article could use some help. Chicken Wing 20:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
