Answer:

The best answer to the question: Common practice and public opinion polling suggest it is easier for presidents to get major legislation enacted during:____,...., would be: The honeymoon period.

Step-by-step explanation:

The honeymoon period in a presidency is the time after an election in which a president in the U.S might have the best chances of getting major reforms accepted and enacted by Congress because it is the period in which there is a sort of spell cast with the electoral victory. A case to show this period is that of president Lyndon B. Johnson with his Great Society and which was accepted between 1964 and 1965, after he was elected with a huge majority. The point of this program was to eliminate as much as possible two major factors: poverty and racial injustice and given the atmosphere of the period, it required a honeymoon period for it to have been accepted so fast. However, the election of Johnson brought into Congress a lot of liberal legislators that favored his proposals and passed them without much opposition.
