Did the federal government have the power to free slaves and give them the right to vote? Many Americans (especially the South) believed that the government didn't, yet now that society as a whole looks back we see no other solution. The same idea applies with gay marriage. Many aren't happy about it and don't agree with the government but 20 years from now it won't seem as drastic as they make it seem. The federal government might not have to power to make gay marriage legal but states shouldn't have the power to make it illegal. Thu, 10 Sep 2015 20:14:26 -0400
