Which issue was most central to the “culture wars” of the 1990’s

a. campaign finance
b. defense spending
c. gun control
d. education reform

D

Explanation:

It wasn't campaign financing. Money was not on anyone's mind until Clinton came along and made it an issue.

Defense spending was in the same category. People still believed what President Johnson (LBJ) said about guns and butter.

It wasn't gun control. The 2nd amendment had not quite become an issue.

Education Reform is your closest answer. Pat Buchanan made quite an issue about the need to stop Private Schools from being picked on. Education is closer to cultural reform than any of the others.

what do you mean

the progressive era is a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the united states that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s.[1] the main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.

the movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. by taking down these corrupt representatives in office, a further means of direct democracy would be established. they also sought regulation of monopolies (trust busting) and corporations through antitrust laws, which were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.

many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation. at the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.a third theme was building an efficiency movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "taylorism".
