Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A state legislature passes a law that provides additional welfare benefits exclusively to residents of urban areas, citing the higher cost of living as the justification. An individual from a rural area challenges the law, arguing that it violates the Equal Protection Clause. Under rational basis review, which of the following is the most appropriate outcome?

  • The law is invalidated because it treats rural and urban residents differently without a compelling reason.

  • The law is struck down because welfare benefits are distributed uniformly to residents.

  • The law is valid provided it pertains to a fundamental right.

  • The law remains valid because it addresses a legitimate concern related to differences in living costs.
