Answer 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:

• 
  Tax cuts were central to President Reagans domestic agenda.
  


• 
  Reagans tax cuts disproportionately benefited the wealthiest Americans.
  


• 
  At the same time that Reagan pushed for steep tax cuts, he sought large increases in military spending.
  


• 
  To make up the deficit created by tax cuts and military spending, Reagan targeted social welfare programs designed to help the poor.
  


• 
  The assault on welfare had links to racial issues as well.
  

Answer 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:

• 
  In January 1979, the Iranian people overthrew the longtime authoritarian government of Shah Reza Pahlavi.
  


• 
  Returning from exile in Iraq and then Paris, Rhuollah Khomeini created a popular theocracy.
  


• 
  The shah took his money and fled Iran. Several months later, President Carter allowed him to enter the United States to seek medical treatment for cancer.
  


• 
  The Iranians demanded the shahs extradition. The refusal of this demand led to the storming of the U.S. embassy.
  


• 
  Carter refused to give into Iranian pressure to return the shah in exchange for the embassy hostages.
  


• 
  A failed military rescue operation only made the situation worse.
  


• 
  Not until after the shahs death in 1980 did the two governments finally negotiate the hostages release in January 1981.
