Answer: President Reagan

The national debt rose rapidly during the 1980s. President Reagan followed a combination of lowered tax rates (from 70% to 28% at the top income tax rate) and increased defense spending. At the same time, Democrats blocked cuts to social programs. This led to the tripling of the Gross Federal Debt, from $900 billion to $2.7 trillion. The debt continued to rise during the presidency of George H. W. Bush, but decreased at the end of Bill Clinton's presidency.

3. How were the rights of English citizens strengthened during each of these years?

Valentin [98]

The rights of the English citizens were strengthened in the following ways:

1. In the year 1215, the Magna Carta, was written by King John. In this document, he stated that the king and members of the throne were under the same laws as the citizens.

That is they were not above the British law. They were to follow the same laws as the citizens.

2. In the year 1265, the British house of parliament was formed to see to the creation of laws in the country.
