Which is correct?

Hello,
I am hesitating between two sentence structures in an essai, and do not know whether one of them is wrong, and if not, whether there are any differences in meaning :
The American Dream has a role in the maintaining of their status.
The American Dream has a role in maintaining their status.
Thank you
