Question

9. Which of the following describes Jimmy Carter's ability to get laws passed through Congress? A. Carter didn't try to pass laws through Congress. B. Carter was able to convince Congress to help him pass his ideas into law. C. Carter used his experience as a legislator to guide bills through Congress. D. Carter lacked the connections in Congress to successfully gain support for his ideas.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Carter lacked the connections in Congress to successfully gain support for his ideas. He was unsuccessful as a president because the congress didn't support him and neither did the people, especially after the issues with the hostages in Iran and the Shah situation. All this made it possible at the next elections for Reagan to sweep the nation.
