Contract with America

The Contract with America was a political plan introduced by the Republican Party in 1994, led by House Speaker Newt Gingrich. It outlined a series of conservative proposals aimed at reforming government, reducing taxes, cutting regulations, and promoting personal responsibility. The plan included key initiatives like welfare reform, tax cuts, and a balanced budget amendment. It was presented to voters as a way to bring accountability and efficiency to government. The Contract gained significant attention and helped Republicans win control of Congress during the 1994 midterm elections, marking a shift in American politics.
