Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The politics of federalism with respect to civil rights regarding same-sex marriages is primarily played out at the state level. While some state court rulings have provided protection for same-sex marriages, others are passing legislation that would eliminate such protections. The Supreme Court did provide protection for same-sex marriages in their 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, but this was an interpretation of the Constitution, not direct legislation. Congress has not passed legislation specifically providing protection for same-sex marriages, and the Constitution has not been amended for this purpose. The President can issue executive orders, but in this case, the issue is primarily decided at the state level.
