Answer 1

In the Supreme Court case United States v. Windsor (2013), the Court ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violated the principles of equal protection under the law as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Specifically, the Court held that DOMA's definition of marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman was unconstitutional, as it unfairly targeted and discriminated against same-sex couples, denying them federal recognition and benefits. This landmark decision was a significant step forward for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.
