Answer:

They would cite the fourteenth amendment, which states that the prohibition of interracial marriages is prohibited and does not cite same-sex marriages.

Explanation:

The text shown in the question above refers to the right that the constitution of persons who have been legally married within the country. Thus, if a homosexual couple has been legally married, no state can prevent them from enjoying the conjugal rights that the constitution allows. However, those who oppose this type of thinking claim that the constitution does not support or protect same-sex marriages, and these marriages are unconstitutional, since the fourteenth amendment, which refers to marriages, only covers interracial and does not, at any time, cite homosexual marriages.

Answer and Explanation:

I believe that freedom of expression is one of the most important rights defended by the first amendment. This is because we human beings are rational animals and we need to expose our thoughts and emotions to a certain subject, mainly when that subject involves social well-being and criticizes it for controversial and disadvantageous government attitudes.

An example of how free speech is important can be seen in the "Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District" case when a school banned students from showing their views on how the US handled its wars and abused nations more sensitized.
