1.Virginia argued to the Supreme Court that its miscegenation statute did not constitute an invidious classification scheme based on race. what was the basis for this position?

2.what response did the Supreme Court make to Virginia's restrictions on an individual's right to decide whether to marry a person of another race?

3.Do you see any merit to the argument often made today that statutes that restrict marriage to heterosexual couples deny same-sex couples wishing to marry the equal protection of the law?
