I think that the time is now to ratify same sex marriage as constitutional right because of the social and political climate.

Conclusion
My thesis at the beginning of March was to show you that marriage has been redefined. I believe that since marriage has been changed in our national history that room for conservative groups to pledge that marriage is sacred is complete bull. I have talked about various topics in relation to this such as African Americans not being allowed to marry, interracial marriage (miscenegation) being illegal, and polygamy being legal then illegal and now back to being legal in some parts. I discussed the fact that common law marriage is still a process that is seen in some states yet illegal in others. I think it is important to recognize that changes to our laws will happen as our political and social climates change. I think it is valuable to see how we have grown and adjust our laws based on the various changes.
