The conflict between American ideals that is best demonstrated by this scenario is liberty and equality. The legislation that allows for lawsuits about unequal pay highlights the pursuit of equality, while the opposition to the bill requiring equal pay reflects concerns about individual liberties in business practices.
In 2009, the U.S. Congress passed a law that made it legal for people to file lawsuits about unequal pay at any time, no matter how long it had been since the unfair pay happened. Three years later, some lawmakers tried to pass a bill that required men and women to be paid the same, but a great deal of opposition emerged.
