Question

Ronald Reagan counted on all of the following supporters EXCEPT

Select one:
a. liberal college age students
b. business people who wanted to deregulate their economy
C. southerners who welcomed the limits of federal power
d. westerners who resented federal controls on mining and grazing

Answer 1

a. liberal college age students .

Step-by-step explanation:

• Ronald Reagan strengthened the conservative movement in U.S. When he became President in 1881, he inclined towards conservatism and within some few years he could garner a large coalition of conservative supporters who greatly supported his policies.
• The coalition of supporters included business people who wanted to deregulate their economy, southerners who welcomed the limits of federal power and westerners who resented federal controls on mining and grazing.
• However, he failed to attract liberal college age students and individuals who were liberal and anti-conservative.
