Democracy isn't easy. Even when you support all 14 values, sometimes they can push against each other. In this quiz, you will evaluate 28 situations where there are real conflicts between them. Do your best to think about these values in each situation, and discover your true priorities.
Each question puts two democratic fundamentals in tension. Slide toward whichever side you think should win — or leave it centered if you'd weigh them equally.
Center = equal weight. Every position is a valid answer.
Based on how you resolved each conflict, here is how you ranked the 14 fundamentals — and how that compares to politicians and other Americans.
Alignment is measured by how similarly you both ranked all 14 fundamentals (Spearman rank correlation). Sorted from highest to lowest match. Hover a row for the methodology note.
