The constitutional precedent is from the English Common Law, which predates the promulgation of the Constitution.

Well, now I know for sure you're a troll, er, subject.

States do have many powers, but their powers do not include redefining marriage

Um, once again, where does marriage appear in the Constitution?

What is the definition of marriage in a dictionary?

Do you understand semantics?

Words do not require laws.

“Well, now I know for sure you’re a troll, er, subject.”

Insofar as you are ignorant of American law.

“Um, once again, where does marriage appear in the Constitution?”

The definition of Marriage in the United States, as explained earlier, predates the constitution by several centuries. It is in the English Common Law.

“What is the definition of marriage in a dictionary?”

What does this non-sequitor have anything to do with the legal definition of marriage under the English Common Law?
