Photo 22: Government and Families

Photo 22: My husband and I were in Capitola and I saw this picture of Capitola's City Hall. I realize it is a small form of government, but government is government and all forms of government affect families.

Sociological Perspective: How do laws that the government creates affect family life, i.e. right to marry? How do families affect government policies and laws i.e. Proposition 8 and a strong push by religious and families to get Prop 8 on the ballot and get it passed? In what ways does government shape families?
