Which case is associated with Georgia's sodomy law?

• A. McCleskey v. Kemp
• B. Bowers v. Hardwick
• C. Roe v. Wade
• D. Doe v. Bolton

Answer: (B)

The question tests which Supreme Court case directly involved Georgia’s sodomy statute. Bowers v. Hardwick is the case that challenged Georgia’s law criminalizing sodomy, including same‑sex conduct, and the Court upheld the statute at that time, finding no constitutional right to private sodomy. The other cases deal with different issues—Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton concern abortion rights, and McCleskey v. Kemp addresses the death penalty and racial bias in Georgia—so they aren’t associated with Georgia’s sodomy law. It’s also useful to know that the Bowers decision was later overturned by Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down sodomy laws nationwide.
