Explanation of Connection: This article relates to the executive branch because Arizona was fighting an anti-gay marriage ballot in 2006. This law was called proposition 107, the protect marriage amendment. If this is passed domestic partnership benefits would be taken away. But in order to pass this law, the executive branch (president and v. president) must carry out the laws. If this law is passed it will go into the Arizona constitution stating that only men and women are allowed to get married. Unmarried couples with children will also lose there right of having health insurance and domestic laws will not apply to unmarried victims. In The constitution, it states in Article III section 2 that the Judicial Power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.
I think this law is a law that should not only be passed in Arizona but not in the United States, period. This law to me in my opinion violates the first amendment of the constitution which is free speech. This takes away the way people feel about one another. If two people of the same sex have a certain feeling for each other, they should have the right to be married in my opinion. "Gay people" have rights to in this world like everybody else does and i believe they should have this right
