Question

A mayor serving in a major metropolitan area receives an internal memorandum indicating personnel at many police stations are single-race. At the time of the report, thirty percent of the police force was black or Hispanic. She immediately calls a press conference and orders transfers of police officers to achieve racial balance across the city. The transferred police officers sue on constitutional grounds. Assuming just these facts, what is the strongest argument that might be advanced by the transferred officers based on constitutional grounds

Answer 1

Answer: The mayor's policy used race as the basis for transfers, and assignments are subject to strict scrutiny

Explanation:

Racism has been a major challenge in the society today. Which is why most countries, organizations and institutions have to be careful with their actions when carrying them out or they would be termed racist for doing so, although some decisions may prove to be one but some don't have it in mind but still they would need to apply wisdom.
