Explanation:
Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015) (/ˈoʊbərɡəfɛl/ OH-bər-gə-fel), is a landmark civil rights case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The 5–4 ruling requires all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the Insular Areas to perform and recognize the marriages of same-sex couples on the same terms and conditions as the marriages of opposite-sex couples, with all the accompanying rights and responsibilities.[2][3]
Between January 2012 and February 2014, plaintiffs in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee filed federal district court cases that culminated in Obergefell v. Hodges. After all district courts ruled for the plaintiffs, the rulings were appealed to the Sixth Circuit. In November 2014, following a series of appeals court rulings that year from the Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits that state-level bans on same-sex marriage were unconstitutional, the Sixth Circuit ruled that it was bound by Baker v. Nelson and found such bans to be constitutional.[4] This created a split between circuits and led to a Supreme Court review.
Decided on June 26, 2015, Obergefell overturned Baker and requires all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and to recognize same-sex marriages validly performed in other jurisdictions.[5] This established same-sex marriage throughout the United States and its territories. In a majority opinion authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the Court examined the nature of fundamental rights guaranteed to all by the Constitution, the harm done to individuals by delaying the implementation of such rights while the democratic process plays out,[6] and the evolving understanding of discrimination and inequality that has developed greatly since Baker.[7]
Prior to Obergefell, same-sex marriage had already been established by law, court ruling, or voter initiative in thirty-six states, the District of Columbia, and Guam.[3]
Answer and explanation:
After reading this task and going through some research on the topic, I conclude the following answer.
For starters, let's position ourselves on some historical background so we can understand what we are talking about.
Indentured servitude, which was first employed in the 17th and 18th century in order to cast labor from Europe to America, was then brought back to the spotlight in the 19th century and early 20th century after antislavery activism and movements met its peak of success in the 1800's.
The documents that would help assess the historical significance of indentured servitude in this period would be the following ones:
- Herman Merivale, British Undersecretary of the Colonies, 1850.
- Editorial in the Natal Mercury, Itongati, South Africa, on the visit of Sir George Grey, British colonial governor, June 6, 1855.
- Principal Overseas Indentured Migrations 1834-1919.
- Indentured Labor in the Age of Imperialism, 1834-1922, edition of 1995.
- Photo and print collection of the Koninklijk Instituut voor Tall-, Land-en Volkenkunde, Leiden. Julius Eduard Muller, photographer. These pictures show Asian Indian indentured laborers awaiting assignment to work on sugar plantations in Suriname, 1885.
- "General Statement of Asian Indian Inmigration to Mauritius", published by the British Government, 1949.
- British Guiana Indenture Agreement, 1895.
- Documents of Indentured Labour, South Africa, 1851-1917.
