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 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.
It reinforced majority rule by aligning federal law with popular sentiment for legalizing same-sex marriages.
