The State of Wakanda enacted the Driver's Law which repealed former laws allowing all persons to obtain a driver's license at age 16. The new law provides that females may be licensed at age 18, but males may not be licensed until age 21. Drivers of Hispanic, Asian, African American, and Native-American descent may not be licensed until age 21, regardless of gender. The rationale for the Driver's Law is based on evidence presented during legislative hearings which revealed that drivers under the age of 18 have significantly higher accident rates than drivers over 18; the accident rate of male drivers in the 18 to 21 age group is a few percentage points higher than females in the same age group; and minority drivers under the age of 21 were statistically more likely than non-minority drivers under the age of 21 to be uninsured or under-insured.

QUESTION: Discuss the constitutional basis for a lawsuit seeking to invalidate the Driver's Law. Specifically discuss the standards of review a court will apply to the law's age, gender, and racial classifications and evaluate whether each classification will withstand constitutional scrutiny.
