Question
the supreme courts decision in obergefell v. hodges (2015) was significant because it
a struck down state laws that made sodomy a crime.
b allowed state governments to limit marriage to one man and one woman.
c declared the full faith and credit clause unconstitutional.
d required that all states offer marriage licenses to two people of the same sex.
Brief Explanations
- Option A: The case that struck down sodomy laws was Lawrence v. Texas, not Obergefell v. Hodges.
- Option B: Obergefell v. Hodges did the opposite; it established the right to same - sex marriage, so it did not allow states to limit marriage to one man and one woman.
- Option C: The Full Faith and Credit Clause was not declared unconstitutional in this case. Obergefell v. Hodges was about the right to same - sex marriage.
- Option D: The Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) held that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same - sex couples by the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, which required all states to offer marriage licenses to same - sex couples.
