Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Justice Kennedy reaffirmed the liberal view of the Constitution as a "living document," whose protections expand as society changes. He recognized that the Constitution's guarantees of liberty and equality in the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses must apply to new situations and evolve to meet changing social conditions. This position was evident in his majority opinions in both the Lawrence v. Texas and Obergefell v. Hodges rulings, which struck down state laws criminalizing homosexual conduct and established a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, respectively.
