Answer:

Moral Majority

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry Falwell, who was well known for his conservatism, and televangelism, in 1979, founded an American political organization called MORAL MAJORITY, to advocates for conservative social values.

In what was seen as a response to the social and cultural transformations that occurred in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, Moral Majority helped to establish the religious right as a force in American politics, by advocating for promotion of family values, reduce government services, and increase defense spending.
