Political ideologies provide frameworks for understanding the role of government and individual rights. In contemporary American politics, several key ideologies contend for influence; among these, liberalism emphasizes individual rights and social justice, while conservatism values tradition and personal responsibility. Additionally, other ideologies such as socialism advocate for collective ownership and social welfare, and libertarianism champions maximum personal freedom with minimal government intervention.
