1. That Gerald Ford managed to restore confidence in the presidency but remained unable to make significant breakthroughs in solving the nation’s international and economic problems.

2. That the difficult problems faced by Jimmy Carter, including a sluggish economy, an energy crunch, and a Middle Eastern crisis, combined with his leadership style to ensure that he would be a one-term president.

3. That Ronald Reagan’s personality soothed Americans and his brand of conservatism struck a responsive chord as he moved toward a reduced role for government in the economy and an increased emphasis on the military.

4. How the New Right challenged the liberal-moderate consensus that had dominated American politics since the New Deal.
