Help me square a circle. I find the Constitution of the United States of America an outstanding document; simple in its use of language, clear in its expressions and concise in its role.
I am not a lawyer. People are trying to make an amendment to the Constitution of the United States which has me confused. Currently, people are trying to amend the Constitution with the following:
"Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union between a man and a woman. Neither this constitution or the constitution of any state, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups"
In the 14th amendment to the constitution, it states, “... No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property ... nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. ”
How can we the people have one amendment standing in opposition to another? Will we the people have to repeal the 14th amendment before the latest amendment can be passed?
