Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

In Obergefell v. Hodges (2015 ), a 54 majority of the Court ruled that state bans on same-sex marriage were unconstitutional because they violated liberty interests under the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, identified both fundamental liberty interests to marriage under the Due Process Clause and general principles of equality under the Equal Protection Clause as reasons for striking down state laws prohibiting same-sex unions.
