The United States always has been a place where different ideas and views compete to influence law and social change. The liberal activism of the 1960s-1970s gave way to conservatism in the 1980s. Conservatives wanted limited government, strong national defense and tax cuts. Supporters of President Ronald Reagan (1981–1989) believe his policies helped to speed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. American politics, however, can change quickly. In 1992, Americans elected the more liberal Bill Clinton as President.
美國一直是一個(gè)不同的想法和意見競爭影響的法律和社會(huì)變革的地方。20世紀(jì)60年代到20世紀(jì)70年代的自由主義屈服于20世紀(jì)80年代的激進(jìn)保守主義。保守黨希望有限的政府,強(qiáng)大的國防和減稅??偨y(tǒng)羅納德里根(1981-1989年)的支持者認(rèn)為,他的政策有助于加快蘇聯(lián)的解體和冷戰(zhàn)結(jié)束。然而,美國的政治可以迅速改變。在1992年,美國人選出了更為寬松的克林頓總統(tǒng)。
