Answer 1

A. They provided a blueprint for the contract, which stated what Congress would do if Republicans won a majority in both houses.
The Heritage Foundation's priorities of free enterprise, small government, lower taxes, and strong defense were influential in the development of the Contract with America. The Contract was a set of policy proposals that were developed by Republicans in 1994, in anticipation of winning a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Contract reflected the Heritage Foundation's priorities by emphasizing issues such as tax cuts, deregulation, and a strong national defense. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
