More than 225 years after the Constitution was ratified, there are many disputes today about how it should be interpreted and applied to important issues.  Here are some of the biggest controversies concerning the Constitution today:
 +
 +
*Same-sex marriage
 +
*Abortion
 +
*Gun rights
 +
*Property rights
 +
*Immigration
 +
*Free speech and campaign finance
 +
*Voting rights
 +
 +
Let's discuss each of these issues in connection with the Constitution.

===Same-sex marriage===
    
Same-sex marriage - decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit created a Circuit split, virtually ensuring review of the issue by the U.S. Supreme Court.
