Why can’t Americans agree on even our most fundamental rights? In this timely conversation, Dr. Katie Gaebel joins Core Conversations to unpack Habeas Corpus, a cornerstone of American freedom and explore why confusion and disagreement over basic constitutional principles are tearing at our democracy.

Starting from the viral exchange between Senator Maggie Hassan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, we discuss how misunderstanding historical rights like Habeas Corpus weakens civil discourse, fosters misinformation, and deepens political division.

What you'll learn in this episode:

- The real meaning and historical importance of Habeas Corpus.

- How misunderstanding basic rights fuels polarization.

- Why we struggle with clarity, communication, and capacity in public discourse.

- Practical steps to rebuild civil conversation, even on contentious topics.

Featuring insights from landmark cases, historical parallels, and Katie’s expertise on identity and societal cohesion, this episode provides clarity and context for anyone seeking to better understand and engage in—constructive dialogue about our fundamental rights.
