Explanation:

1. For the first question: The Windsor v.

It did not mandate recognition across all states (that came later in Obergefell v. Hodges).
2. For the second question: The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution requires states to recognize the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of other states, with a narrow exception for laws that conflict with a state's strong public policy.

Answer:

1. A) for federal purposes.
2. B) the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
