Answer 1

The political victory of the new conservative movements of the late 1970s and early 80s culminated in the victory of Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter in the presidential election of 1980.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jimmy Carter was a one-term president of the United States of America. Domestic economic problems and some major foreign policy mistakes made him an easy target of conservative criticism. One of the crises that cost him dearly was the crisis of American hostages in Tehran. He lost the 1980 election to Republican Ronald Reagan.
