The resolution urges the United States Supreme Court to overturn its decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage, and to restore the traditional definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman. It argues that the Obergefell decision conflicts with the U.S. Constitution and the foundational principles of individual liberty, suggesting that it misinterprets the concept of liberty by implying that dignity is granted by the government rather than being an inherent human right. The resolution also contends that the ruling undermines the rights of states and their voters, as it requires states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples against their own constitutional provisions.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes that marriage has historically been defined as a union between one man and one woman for centuries and criticizes the Supreme Court's decision as an overreach of judicial power. It calls for the restoration of marriage laws to be determined by state legislatures and the people, rather than by court rulings. The House of Representatives of North Dakota expresses its rejection of the Obergefell decision and requests that a copy of the resolution be sent to the United States Supreme Court.
