The two significant factors in the growth of the conservative movement are:
-
The Moral Majority - This organization played a crucial role in mobilizing many religious voters and promoting conservative social values.
-
The election of Ronald Reagan - Reagan's presidency (1981-1989) marked a significant rise in conservative policies and ideals, influencing the political landscape.
The other options (the military draft, overcrowding of prisons, and the War on Drugs) did not have the same level of impact on the growth of the conservative movement as these two factors.
