(1 point)
a compelling national interest
proper government purpose
proof that there is no alternative
a long-standing history of oppression

The correct answer is "a rational relationship between the government's action and a legitimate government interest." The rational basis test is the lowest level of scrutiny applied by courts in reviewing government actions that classify or discriminate among groups of people. It requires that the government's action be rationally related to a legitimate government interest, meaning that there must be a reasonable connection or justification between the government's classification and the purpose it seeks to achieve.
