In Adarand Constructors v. Pena, where a low-bid contractor lost a highway job to a "disadvantaged" contractor
lost a highway job to a "disadvantaged" contractor under federal bidding rules, the Supreme Court held that: a. the bidding scheme did not violate the due process clause because it was narrowly tailored to meet a compelling state interest. b. the bidding scheme did not violate the equal protection clause because it does not apply to federal government practices. c. the bidding scheme did not violate the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment because there was no right to the contract. d. the bidding scheme violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Could some one help me decide on the right answer? Thank You!

- Tch tch...doing homework on Yahoo Answers? There are no shortcuts in studying how legal arguments are developed in the law. But if there were, you might find a good discussion of the case at http://womenshistory.about.com/library/etext/gov/bl_gov_aa_adarand.htm which could lead you to decide that (a) might be the most accurate of the four choices.
