Answer:

In my opinion carter's speech of Crisis of confidence was to raise the confidence of american people in the government.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carter's speech in June 1979 detailed a growing sense that Americans were experiencing a crisis of confidence.

Carter's administration was fighting with increasing unemployment, Inflation, and increasing energy cost.

Carter was assumed to return the nation's support and hope for the America's better future - instead performed political self-destruction - speech came off as if he moving and withdrawing opposition - enforced Americans distrust of government.
