Which of the following statements concerning political values in the United States is MOST accurate?

A) American values often conflict with each other in practice.
B) Because of their diversity,Americans do not share a similar set of core political values.
C) The origins of American political values are found in the 1960s.
D) American politics relies on its value neutrality.

While there are certainly overarching values that are commonly associated with American politics (such as individualism, democracy, and equality), these values can and often do come into conflict. For example, debates around gun control often pit the value of individual rights against the value of public safety. Similarly, debates around immigration often pit the value of national sovereignty against the value of openness and inclusivity. Therefore, A is the most accurate statement because American values often conflict with each other in practice.

B is not the best choice as while Americans are diverse, they still share a similar set of core political values.

C is incorrect as American political values have deeper roots than just the 1960s.

D is incorrect as American politics does not rely on value neutrality.
