The 2013 case of Windsor v. United States in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals employed ___ in holding that the Defense of Marriage Act held no legitimate state interest and thus overturned it.
Answer: intermediate scrutiny
Explanation:
In United States v. Windsor, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed the lower court's decision that Section 3 of DOMA was unconstitutional.
The court found that, since homosexuals had been historically subjected to discrimination, they could be considered as a group that falls under a "quasi-suspect classification", and therefore intermediate scrutiny could be applied.
DOMA was deemed unconstitutional under the equal protection guarantees of the Fifth Amendment because it didn´t pass that test.

The Texas Constitution derives its core governing principle from the U.S. Constitution. Both embody representative democracy, popular sovereignty, limited government, and separation of powers.

The Monroe Doctrine is an important piece of America's foreign policy in the early 19th century. This established four different conditions for international relations including:
1) US would remain neutral in European affairs.
2) US would not interfere with European colonies in the Western Hemisphere.
3) No new colonies can be established by European colonies in the Western Hemisphere.
4) Any new attempt to colonize in the Western Hemisphere by a European country would be seen as a hostile attack.
With these conditions, the US is trying to address the issues of peace and safety. Ultimately, the goal of this doctrine is to stop any future conflicts over territory from happening.
