'''The compelling state interest test''' is a test used by the ] in ] and ] claims (all claims with Constitutional bases, actually) under the ] for state action and under the ] for federal action. It is part of the ] analysis that a federal court will employ when either a ] is involved or a ]. A government action or statute subject to strict scrutiny must satisfy a compelling state interest that is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. The court will give the strictest scrutiny of the state or federal action when it impacts or targets a specially protected class (race, ethnicity) or when a fundamental and Constitutionally protected right is involved (Freedom of Speech, Right to Vote). The compelling state interest test is distinguishable from the ] test, which involves Fourteenth and Fifth Amendment claims that do not involve a suspect class and involve a ] rather than a fundamental right. | |||
