Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United States v. Windsor case resulted in the Supreme Court striking down a part of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that defined marriage as only between a man and a woman, thus recognizing same-sex marriages at the federal level. It did not legalize most same-sex marriages across the country but paved the way for a later Supreme Court decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
