In which instance would the court most likely overturn a governmental action?
A.
when a minority group favors the action
B.
when a action is discriminatory against a minority group
C.
when the action is disliked by the dominant religious group
D.
when the majority opposes the action
B. when an action is discriminatory against a minority group.
The correct answer is B. when an action is discriminatory against a minority group.
When the court is considering whether to overturn a governmental action, it examines a variety of factors, including whether the action violates any constitutional provisions or protections. One important consideration is the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, or other protected characteristics.
Therefore, if an action is proven to be discriminatory against a minority group, it is more likely to be found unconstitutional and overturned by the court. The court's primary role is to protect the rights of individuals and ensure that the government does not engage in discriminatory practices or actions that disproportionately harm certain groups.
