Part B

“Full Faith & Credit” -
So this part of the constitution declares that each state can make its own laws and that these laws can be different in each state. For Gay Marriage this means that if a gay couple in a certain state wants to get married and the state they live in won't allow gay marriage, the couple can get married in another state that does permit marriage between same sex couples. The couples marriage will be legal because this article in the constitution allows it.

Supreme Law of the Land & No Religious Test-
Supposedly the supreme law of the land is the constitution. The idea that No religion should be separate from the government is supposed to make America feel that different religions can be practised in America with little judgement. It makes the country seem like religion is not a key factor in America. It allows Americans to have freedom of religion and not having it count against them if they choose to run for any office in the United States.


4th amendment-
This amendment states that the government can't invade someones home and search it/seize without good reason. I think this has really been altered because after 9/11 the government became much more strict and paranoid. I believe the attacks have made our government feel venerable so now they are over compensating when they should have just been more safe to begin with.
