Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "equal protection" and "due process" clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment are the primary constitutional assertions cited by advocates of gay marriage rights. These clauses protect individuals from discrimination and ensure that states do not deny anyone their fundamental rights without due process of law. Gay rights advocates argue that denying same-sex couples the right to marry violates both of these clauses.
