Just because there's a 10th Amendment is no reason to allow a state to mandate that everyone sacrifice their first born son, or attend my church, or not attend any church, or ban voting.

All of the examples you gave are taken care of in the Constitution. Where is marriage addressed in the Constitution?

It isn't. The Founders set up the document for a moral, self-governing people only. Who in the 18th Century would have thought that centuries later we'd have a 1st Amendment 'right' to create and view degrading images of people copulating, and a hidden 'right' to privacy to murder children? Or a hidden 'right' to privacy to renounce our inalienable rights, thereby making them alienable? Or a hidden 'right' to privacy to engage in sexual perversions? Perhaps next we'll see some libertarian-socialist state legalize perverted 'marriage.'
