Part B- The constitution

In Article 4 it says each state is required to recognize the laws or records of other states and make rights in its own court. When it says that, it makes me sense that, if that is the case, if gay marriage is aloud in another state, then shouldn’t it be aloud in New York then? Gay marriage is based off of a religious belief which it should not be because that person is not the one marrying the same sex. The Government is discriminating gays or lesbians from marrying but yet it also says, states must treat every citizen equally, with out discriminating. Furthermore, what happens to the government when they do not follow the rules?

In the States Citizens, Extradition section, they talk about slavery not being aloud, which matters because if it did, it would continue regardless of the civil rights movement. However I was wondering if the Civil Rights movement, influenced this element of the constitution? I suppose it did because it seems like a large occasion has to occur over and over again in a certain time period for government to make changes for the worst or better.

Amendment #9 shows that the government can not perform any actions that they want. It reminds me that our rights come from the constitution, bill of rights. I personally think that abortion is wrong but yet it does not say anything about it, so there for the people have a right to go along with it or not. When it says “others retained by the people”, to me it means that what ever right is not said in the constitution, the person has a choice depending on the situation. It’s hard to know what it means because it doesn’t state what they person can have or do.

Amendment #10 shows that the government represents the power of the constitution. Yet, it also says what ever is not delegated remains in the state and in the people. That makes me start be unsure of what does the government represent? I thought the government owned everything, but can they? I think if the government wanted to, they can take over the public school system, but how would they is what I wonder. Congress can make a law allowing gay marriage or denying it. I consider that veing gay is against their religion so because of that, they wont make it a law, but their religion can not be based on a law. Something feels fishy.
