Which of the following best characterized the changing political and social climate of the 1980s?

Answer 1

Answer:

Popular resistance to the social changes in the 1960s and 1970s supported a new conservative movement.

Explanation:

By the end of 1970s, the United States was in a troubling kind of situation and the citizens had lost faith in its leaders. Scandals and wars such as the Vietnam War created an economic crisis. Hence, by the end of the 1970s, the United States was in a crippled situation both financially and politically.

In the 1980s, the Americans founded new conservatism in politics, the economy as well as social life. These changes were mainly due to the efforts of the new policies made. Many revolutionary changes started taking place in the 1980s.
