led to debate over... what?
- 00:18
And here are your potential answers.
- 00:20
All right. Check out the little mastheads here. Blue, green, white, and what all that means.

- 00:27
All right, well immigration has always been a large
- 00:29
part of the American story, but the latest wave -
- 00:31
displayed on the map right here - really rocked the boat for some people.
- 00:35
So did the changes in population shown in the image lead
- 00:38
to debate over B - prayer in public schools?
- 00:41
Well, this issue is certainly contentious, but it has
- 00:43
more to do with separation of church and state
- 00:45
rather than separation of people from their home country.
- 00:48
So cross out B.
- 00:49
Could these demographic shifts have led to debate over C -
- 00:52
fair trade acts and policy?
- 00:54
Well, fair trade policy stemmed from conversations
- 00:57
between the U.S. and other countries, not the U.S. and
- 00:59
those countries' newly arrived immigrants.
- 01:01
That takes C off the market, too.
- 01:02
Did this change in population lead to debate over D -
- 01:06
voter registration laws?
- 01:08
Well, you can only register to vote if you're actually
- 01:10
a U.S. citizen. The debate over these laws involves
- 01:13
way more than the rise in immigration.
- 01:15
Which means the demographic shift shown in the map
- 01:18
led to debate over A - the national identity.
- 01:20
So with a growing number of immigrants arriving in the U.S.,
- 01:23
a question of America's who, what, when, where, and why
- 01:26
moved to the forefront of the national conversation.
- 01:28
So the answer is A. This question of identity
- 01:30
continues to be a source of contention today among Americans,
- 01:33
adding yet another layer of teenage anxiety to
- 01:36
life's big mysteries.
