How might justice Joseph Bradley's argument that a law barring women from practicing law could be upheld because of women's timidity and delicacy regarded as an application of the rational basis test? How might it be regarded as unreasonable?

Answer i don't know if it helps Explanation:

Although the concept of the rational basis test post-dates Justice Bradley (making it rather suspect to try and analyze his position through that lens in the first place), the statement - as phrased in the OQ - does follow the organic root of the idea: that when discriminating against non-suspect classes, the government must have some kind of coherent reasoning leading them to that policy choice as preferential over others.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
