Hi! Please help me with major question.
I have CBA project now (what is it CBA you can find here: k12.wa.us/assessment/WASL/SocialStudies/HighSchool.aspx). My constitutional issue is "Can people be a property?" which is linked with movement for the African American equality 1858-1868. And now i'm supposed to answer on this question - "how individual rights and the common good should be balanced with regards to the issue". And i'm so confused.. It's easy to answer on this question in such issues as gun control. But how i can answer on it in my issue? Thank you and sorry for my english please.

Ownership of people, as property, is another word for slavery. The Civil War and the Constitutional Amendments that followed it ended it in America. It did not serve the common good; only the lifestyle of the slave owners.
