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.
美国一直是一个不同的想法和意见竞争影响的法律和社会变革的地方。20世纪60年代到20世纪70年代的自由主义屈服于20世纪80年代的激进保守主义。保守党希望有限的政府,强大的国防和减税。总统罗纳德里根(1981-1989年)的支持者认为,他的政策有助于加快苏联的解体和冷战结束。然而,美国的政治可以迅速改变。在1992年,美国人选出了更为宽松的克林顿总统。
