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.
Lincoln believes that the United States will either exist as country that allows slavery or a country that outlaws slavery. He argues that the US cannot continue on as a half slave and half free country. This is evident from the following two quotes:
1) "<span>I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free."
2) "</span><span>It will become all one thing or all the other. "
These quotes are both accurate representations of how Lincoln feels that the country can't exist as having slavery in some places and outlawing slavery in others. The Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act all support his view. These three events were all attempts to solve the issue of slavery in the US. However, none of them are successful in providing a long term solution for this institution.

<u> B. It gives specific powers to the federal government.</u>
The United States Constitution grants specific powers and rights to the federal government, called "delegated powers", if it is not outlined in it, then the government should not do it. Furthermore, the Tenth Amendment establishes that all powers that aren't listed in the Constitution are granted to the people or the states. This way, it prevents conflict between federal and state government, and also prevents the government from abusing of its power.
