AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.12
What was the effect of Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v Hodges on balance between minority and majority rights?
It had little effect as most states had already legalized same-sex marriage prior to the decision.
It reinforced majority rule by aligning federal law with popular sentiment for legalizing same-sex marriages.
It enhanced minority rights by legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide despite localized oppositions.
It diminished majority will through federal imposition on an issue traditionally managed at state level.
