Nativism - This is the belief that people who were born in a place should be favored instead of immigrants. For example, this used to be popular in the early 1900s, as many people thought that immigrants would take their jobs. During this time, many Chinese people were immigrating to the United States for work, but when work started to run dry, many Americans did not want them to immigrate there anymore. This then caused the Chinese Exclusion Act, which banned immigration from China.
Assimilation - This is where people of other cultures try to take in the values and culture of the majority in a society. For example, this was very prominent with African Americans and Native Americans in history. White Americans would try to assimilate African Americans, so they could be "better functioning" in society. This also happened with Native Americans, even forcing children out of their homes and taking them to boarding schools. They would then strip them of their culture by forcing them to dress differently and wear certain clothes, all to try to get them to work in society better.
Cultural Preservation - This is where culture is preserved. Culture is and has always been a very important thing to people and preserving it is important as well. This makes it so the culture can be passed on for generations to come and it will never be lost. It can be preserved by sharing your culture with others, creating things that represent your culture, preserving sacred lands that have to do with your culture, or many other ways.

Nativism, assimilation, and cultural preservation are connected by immigration and culture. While they are all very different in a lot of ways, as I explained above, they are brought together by culture.
The United States Constitution can be changed informally. Informal amendments mean that the Constitution does not specifically list these processes as forms of amending the Constitution, but because of change in society or judicial review changed the rule of law de facto.
Answer:
Some of the issues that polarized American Society ever since are:
- Gun politics - the right to keep guns is protected by the Second Amendment. However, the amount of guns in the United States is large, and some political commentators argue that this is one of the causes of the increasing amount of mass shootings in the country. This is why people on different political aisles have called for more gun regulation, while others oppose these measures.
- Abortion - this is a hot button issue up to this day. People disagree on everything here: whether a fetus is a human being or not, whether women should keep unwated pregnacies or not, whether the argument should be framed in a religious fashion or in a secular fashion, etc.
- Recreational drug use and legalization - Drug use is still frowned upon by most of society, but this has not stopped marihuana from being legalized in several states. Many economists support legalization because they believe that prohibition only leads to inflated prices in black markets that are prone to violence. Legalization of hard drugs such as cocaine and heroine, however, is much more controversial.
- Separation of church and state - Some people believe that United States is a Christian nation, and that the church should have a lot of influence in the government, while others argue that America is a secular country, and that state and religous matters are separate.
