The introduction to the constitution of a statute typically outlines the purpose and scope of the legislation, providing context for its provisions. It may clarify the intent of the lawmakers and the principles underlying the statute, serving as a guide for interpretation. This introductory section helps establish the framework within which the specific rules and regulations of the statute operate.

Because marriage was originally/is a religious rite practiced in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The religious rite requires a heterosexual couple, as all three religions consider (in most sects) homosexuality a sin. The push for same-sex marriage comes primarily for a desire for the homosexual partnership to have the same LEGAL rights as a heterosexual partnership, but because of the use of the term 'same-sex marriage' the followers of said religions fight to prevent legal sanctioning of the partnership, in many cases only to protect sanctity of their ritual, and not because they really think that it should be illegal for homosexual relationships to exist, as the greater part of the population is rather tolerant of homosexual partnerships.
The preamble...
the constitution!
in the preamble introduction to the constitution insure domestic tranquility means?
An excellent example of a preamble would be the the Preamble to the US Constitution . . . See below link:
Trick question. That depends on the state statute and whether it is repugnant to the US Constitution or federal law in an area where the federal government asserts supremacy. If the statute falls under the penumbra of states' rights, then the statute is controlling and the US Supreme Court will (should) uphold it. If the statute is unconstitutional under the US Constitution and involves a part of the Constitution incorporated (applied) to the states, then the US Supreme Court decision is controlling. If the statute would be unconstitutional under the US Constitution, but involves a part of the constitution not incorporated to the states (for example, the Seventh Amendment), the Supreme Court will decide whether to apply the Constitution, which would then be binding on all states, or whether to allow the state statute to stand, in which case the state statute would be controlling.
