This mini-lesson covers the basics of the Supreme Court’s decision that extended marriage rights to same-sex couples. Students learn about the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses, and how the Court’s interpretation of them reinforced that marriage is a fundamental right.

I find the materials so engaging, relevant, and easy to understand – I now use iCivics as a central resource, and use the textbook as a supplemental tool. The games are invaluable for applying the concepts we learn in class. My seniors LOVE iCivics.
