Answer 1

Correct answer: A REPUBLICAN AGENDA.

In the 1994 midterm elections, Republicans had campaigned on the promise of a "Contract with America." Newt Gingrich and Richard Armey wrote the document and spearheaded the campaign to take control of Congress back for the Republican Party. (Republicans had not had a majority in the House of Representatives for 40 years.) The Republicans picked up 54 seats in the House of Representatives in the 1994 midterm election, as well as gaining 9 seats in the Senate, to become the majority party in Congress. So they believed they should carry out their "Contract with America" to make changes.

The contract with America was a republican agenda which detailed the actions that the Republicans would undertake if they gained majority in Congress. In the midterm elections of 1994, Republicans won majorities in both the House and the Senate.
