Gun Rights

The Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms; debate centers on the scope of regulation versus individual rights.

Free Speech

The First Amendment protects speech from government restriction, with limited exceptions (e.g., incitement); tension exists between protection and harm mitigation.

Abortion

Roe v. Wade (1973) established abortion rights; Dobbs v. Jackson (2022) overturned them, returning regulation primarily to states.

Voting Rights

Debate focuses on access versus security; federal oversight was narrowed by Shelby v. Holder (2013).

Healthcare

The Affordable Care Act (2010) expanded access via marketplaces and Medicaid; debate continues over government role versus market solutions.

Workers’ Rights

Most U.S. employment is at-will, allowing termination without cause; debates center on flexibility versus protections (wages, benefits, organizing).

Gender-Affirming Care

States vary on whether to restrict or protect access to gender-affirming healthcare, especially for minors; debates weigh health autonomy and safety.
