The Supportive State
Broad agreement exists among politicians and policymakers that the family is a critical institution of American life. Yet the role that the state should play with respect to family ties among citizens remains deeply contested.

Should same-sex marriage be permitted? Should parents who receive welfare benefits be required to work?
