The Reagan Revolution, 1981-1989 4. tax cuts (people pay less taxes) transfer of responsibilities to state governments (less federal power) appointment of judges/justices who exercised “judicial restraint” (judge only objectively and not based on personal beliefs) less government programs and regulations strengthening of the American military “Reagan Revolution” extends beyond Reagan

Bill of Rights? identifies a constitutional basis / guarantees citizens’ right to privacy that is protected from government interference. New Jersey v. T.L.O. invalidates legislative acts and executive actions that are unconstitutional the justices agree exceed the authority granted to government officials by the Constitution of the United States.
