It was in suburbs such as Garden Grove, Orange County [California] . . . that small groups of middle-class men and women met in their new tract homes, seeking to turn the tide of liberal dominance. Recruiting the like-minded, they organized study groups, opened ‘Freedom Forum’ bookstores, filled the rolls of the John Birch Society, entered school board races, and worked within the Republican Party, all in an urgent struggle to safeguard
their particular vision of freedom and the American heritage. In doing so, they became
the ground forces of a conservative revival—one that transformed conservatism from a
marginal force preoccupied with communism in the early 1960s into a viable electoral
contender by the decade’s end.

In your opinion, should a tax be applied at the same rate to all people, or should those who are wealthier be expected to pay at a higher rate? Support your opinion with concrete examples.
Answer: I don’t think that wealthy people should be punished because they are making more money then others and I think that nontaxable amount should be raised. Having said that, all citizens must pay equal tax but tax percentage on some goods and services should be lower so more people could get access to them (like taxes on baby equipment that should be lower and therefore prices would be lower). Furthermore, even though with tax money from both rich and less rich persons, transportation is being financed not all of them use public transports.

The last several decades of the Twentieth Century saw the emergence of new groups of Americans claiming rights as citizens. To what extent does the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment (Document 7) to be ratified, but the signing of Title IX (Document 8) into law, signal about the changing role and rights of women in modern America? After reading President George H.W. Bush’s remarks (Document 9), why do you believe it took so long for the country to acknowledge and protect the rights of the disabled?
Answer:
Due to ignorance of government.

The United States has this type of economy. Citizens
have the freedoms they need, and the government helps
businesses and battles economic problems.
Answer:
The U.S. is a mixed economy. It has both elements of capitalism and socialism. Capitalism lets private corporations and owners decide on the prices of products and allows competition in the market because there is no set price. The aspect of Socialism lets the government help regulate how the business is run in order to set standards. This helps create an equal playing field for everyone so people earn what they work for and don't get paid minimum wage for hard jobs.
