Update on Part B

Full Faith & Credit”. What does that mean for gay marriage?
According to article four it says that states cannot discriminate against the people from other states. This to me implies that no matter what everyone should be treated the same. As for gay marriage people should not be held against what they believe or feel. If article four explains that there should be no discrimination why is gay marriage banned in places such as California?I personally don't feel the Constitution is equal or balanced i feel as if there are many issues that are being contradicted.
But the congress allows each state to make its own laws so different states are allowed to approve gay marriage or not. But if a gay couple lives in a state that does not allow gay marriage they can get married in another state that does and go back to their state.

Article 6,What is the Supreme Law of the Land? What is the significance, in your opinion, of the “No religious test” clause.
Article 7: What was necessary for the ratification of the Constitution? Why “Conventions” not “State Legislatures?” Why 9? Does this seem like a fair process to you? Why or why not? The supreme law of the land is basically stating that the federal laws are higher than any other laws such as the different laws in the states. The significance of the "no religious test" clause is to make sure that anyone who is going to be in office still holds on to the Constitution and does let anything slide. The person who is going to be in office must still hold the Constitution true. The no religious clause test states that no one can be forbidden to run in office based in their religious views. They can not be held against what they believe in in running for office. This is good because that means regardless of your background or what you believe in you still have a chance to run.
