Explanation:

Strict scrutiny refers to a form of judicial review which is used to determine whether a law is constitutional or not. To put in other words it sets a standard for a review. Courts use strict scrutiny when a complainant sues the government for discrimination. It comes to use in an equal protection claim. In order for a court to extend strict scrutiny, the legislature needs to have passed a law that violates a constitutional right or requires a classification of suspects.
