Answer the following questions about Ronald Reagan as a research paper in Chigago style with footnotes. The purpose of this assignment will be to address multiple aspects of a president, their policies, the political climate of their administration, and their successes.
1) What was the historical period of your selected president? Does the historical period
complicate the president’s ability to initiate policies or present a policy agenda?
2) What was composition of the US Congress at the time of your selected president? If this
was a period of divided government, did the US Congress impede the president’s
policies? If so, did the president then act to place a check on Congressional power?
3) What would scholars argue were the most important successes of your president’s term
in office? Why were these noted accomplishments or successes?
