Washington v. Davis: Discrimination in Intent or Effect? | Constitutional Law

Today, we're going to talk about the difference between discrimination in intent or effect in Washington v. Davis, 426 U.S. 229 (1976). In this case, black men, seeking a job with the D.C. police, claimed they were being discriminated against in the application process because a greater number of black men failed an entrance test. The court found that discrimination in effect, without more, was not barred by the Constitution, but discrimination in intent would be. That a test, or other issue, may disproportionately affect one group or another, without more, did not rise to the level of invidious discrimination.
