Quote by Judy Biggert
No Congress ever has seen fit to amend the Constitution to address any issue related to marriage. No Constitutional Amendment was needed to ban polygamy or bigamy, nor was a Constitutional Amendment needed to set a uniform age of majority to ban child marriages.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that in the United States, Congress has never found it necessary to amend the Constitution specifically regarding marriage-related issues like polygamy, bigamy, or child marriages. It suggests that, despite the evolving landscape of societal norms and practices, existing frameworks and legislation have been deemed sufficient to address these matters without requiring constitutional amendments.
