Please provide a very detailed answer. Do not answer this in one paragraph. Tell me something I don't know.
For example, I know it violates the First Amendment. Bob Smith is a California resident and is in violation of the Unruh Act. Any ban on gay marriage is in violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. "No state shall deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of laws". I can also mention the Kim Davis scandal somewhere in the response. I believe I can also mention the due process clause of the 14th Amendment somewhere in this essay.
1. Provide a detailed response. It has to be at least 1.5 pages long.
2. Anything greater than a 1.5 response will get tipped appropriately
3. 4 pages (double spaced) will get $60
4. Feel free to elaborate on the things I mentioned above.
5. Lastly, provide factual information.
6. MUST ADDRESS EVERY PART provided in the essay.
Religious Objections - Bob Smith, a California resident, owns a banquet hall that he rents out for weddings and other events. He is approached by Adam and Steve, who wish to rent the hall for their gay wedding. Bob refuses to rent the hall to Adam and Steve because he does not believe in gay marriage and has religious objections to their lifestyle. He does not want his property to be used for what he regards as an immoral and ungodly purpose.
In your paper, you should discuss:
(1) Legal Issues-Has Bob violated any federal or state laws by refusing to rent to Adam and Steve? If so, does Bob have any grounds for challenging the constitutionality of those laws? If Bob wants to argue that he has a constitutional right to refuse to rent the hall, what sections of the constitution should he cite?
What are his best arguments? How might Adam and Steve respond to those arguments? How do you think about court would rule? How do you think courts should rule on such claims?
(2) Moral/Philosophical Issues-Should Bob be allowed to refuse to rent to Adam and Steve? What insight do moral philosophers like Aristotle, Bentham, Kant, or Rawls provide to this issue? What arguments for or against Bob's position might be made based on their perspectives?
