Explanation:

Liberals generally oppose racial - profiling as it violates civil rights. They support more inclusive immigration policies and benefits for illegal immigrants. They are often in favor of government taking private property with compensation for public good. Liberals tend to oppose religious displays in schools and government to maintain separation of church and state. They support same - sex marriage for equality. They usually oppose a complete overhaul of Social Security and prefer incremental changes. Conservatives, on the other hand, may support racial - profiling for security, oppose equal benefits for illegal immigrants, oppose government taking private property, support religious displays, oppose same - sex marriage based on traditional values, and may advocate for a complete overhaul of Social Security.
