Abstract

After reading the unit, it should be clear that Republicans successfully framed their conservative economic and political agenda as a moral responsibility, and they often used religion to reinforce that idea. Many American voters, usually white working- and middle-class people, responded positively to the new call for scal and social conservatism and limited government. Ronald Reagan won a second term in o ce in 1984, in a landslide victory, but he knew he needed to pursue bipartisan policies, since Democrats controlled the House of Representatives. Reagan passed immigration legislation that provided a path to citizenship for millions of previously undocumented immigrants, he reformed the tax code, and he signed an arms-control treaty with the Soviet Union.
