Answer 1

A court would mostly likely use rational basis to review C. A law that charges experienced pilots less for a pilot's licence than new pilots. Rational basis is the normal standard of review that a court applies when considering a constitutional question under the fifth amendment or the fourteenth amendment. A law that charges experienced pilots less for a licence than new pilots would be reviewed using rational basis by a court of law.
