Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A state passes a statute that reserves certain high-ranking government positions exclusively for males, claiming that these roles are more compatible with male characteristics. A female candidate challenges this statute, arguing that it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. What is the most likely result of this challenge?

  • The statute is unconstitutional because gender-based classifications are impermissible without substantial justification.

  • The statute is constitutional because the state has the authority to determine qualifications for government positions.

  • The statute is unconstitutional because gender-based classifications are subject to intermediate scrutiny and the statute lacks sufficient justification.

  • The statute is unconstitutional because gender-based classifications require strict scrutiny and the statute does not meet this higher standard.
