Are we writing your essay? haha
Well one aspect you can think of is the right for gay marriage. The percentage of gay people in the US is much smaller than the percentage of straight people. Because of the need to make everyone happy and the need to stick as closely to the constitution as possible, gay people are receiving fewer rights and more hassles (such as with tax forms). Look it up.

The more order a society has the less individual rights it retains because more order means more laws restricting individual rights.
An example? An individual right could be to allow personal use of marijuana, but instead of having this right to consume what we wish, we as a society have chosen to retain more order than freedom, therefore, smoking marijuana is illegal.
It’s pretty self explanatory really.
