The textbook mentions the tensions within the American creed. Address what the two prominent sources of tension are in current American politics or society. How do you expect these tensions will be resolved, if at all?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Discuss the two prominent sources of tension in American politics, including the fact that beliefs within the creed are often in conflict with one another and that the meaning of individual beliefs is open to debate.
2, Explain how much of our contemporary political conflict, for example, debates between Republicans and Democrats, is the product of these tensions.
3, Provide an argument about whether or not it is possible to resolve these tensions, drawing upon ideas about the dynamic nature of political culture as well as the fact that the creed's emphasis on individual freedom is what allows for subjective interpretations of the creed.
