To combat rising insurance rates, a state formed a state-owned insurance company that operated exclusively within the state. The company provided insurance on the basis of premiums calculated according to a schedule of fees. Under the schedule, premiums for residents of a particular city were 25% higher than the premiums for any other municipality in the state. Forty percent of that city's residents were of Mexican descent compared with a state-wide Mexican-American population of approximately 15%. A Mexican-American citizen living in the city brings suit, alleging that the state insurance company's rate structure violates the Equal Protection Clause. Will the citizen's suit prevail

No, Unless citizens show that Mexican-American citizens pay higher rates than similarly situated non Mexican-American citizens of that city.

Explanation:

Equal protection clause prohibits states from treating similarly situated people in dissimilar manner without any adequate justification. The insurance premium rates differ for Mexican and American citizens. The residents of the city get 25% while other state residents receive 15%. A citizen may file successful law suit if he is able to prove that Mexican Americans get higher pay rates than non Mexican Americans.
