As the title proposes, it describes the view of religious freedom and how people and state governments use their religious beliefs in demeaning the value of gay marriage. Congressional republicans were working together to activate a bill called the First Amendment Defense Act, preventing federal government in taking discriminatory action from denying tax benefits, contracts, and grants to same-sex couples based on religious decision. This is a reaction upon legalizing on same-sex marriage and rather unfortunate since national government will not have any power and granting states the right to discriminate the gay community from religious freedom protected under the first amendment. Since similar bills have been passed in states such as Arkansas and Indiana (and are protected), the chance of the bill passing nationally is low and will probably be vetoed by the president even if it passes congress. This is an example of nullification as this bill is to be legislated throughout the United States. As marriage equality is still a main struggle in America, we will continue to work towards justification, finding agreement with legislations between states’ right and federal government action as it is part of civil
