Thi question is incomplete. Here´s the complete question.

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.

Why did the japanese often experience such high casualty rates during world war ii?
Lerok [7]
In WWII Japanese Infantry were usually armed with Arisaka family bolt action rifles. Bolt actions have a significant limitation in combat as you can only shoot once before having to load another bullet into the chamber. The Japanese were facing U.S. infantry armed with the standard issue semi-automatic M1 grand. In combat, it came down to U.S. infantry having more modernized weaponry compared to the Japanese. Another factor of their casualties was fire bombing from U.S. planes burning entire areas to the ground. The most effective of these campaigns was the fire bombing of Tokyo as part of Operation Meetinghouse.
