Controversies in the Classroom - DOMA!

This teaching idea discusses the roles played by all three branches of government and allows students to visualize the checks and balances through the establishment, enforcement, and review of the Defense of Marriage Act. It also allows students to critically read through specific sections of the Constitution and other primary/secondary sources to link specific evidence in defending their evaluations of current events.
