Explanation:

Analyze the New Right coalition

The "New Right" was a conservative political coalition that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, helping sweep Ronald Reagan into the presidency in 1980. This coalition was composed of several key demographic and ideological groups, including evangelical Christians (such as the Moral Majority), fiscal conservatives, advocates of a strong national defense, and voters from the rapidly growing Sunbelt region (the South and Southwest).

Evaluate the given options

• People from southwest: The Southwest (part of the Sunbelt) experienced massive population and economic growth in the post-WWII era. Voters in this region generally favored conservative policies, such as lower taxes, deregulation, and strong national defense, making them a core constituency of the New Right and Ronald Reagan's base.
• Young adults: Historically, young voters in the late 1970s and 1980s were politically diverse and not a defining, unified pillar of the "New Right" movement compared to Sunbelt conservatives.
• Jews: Jewish voters historically aligned predominantly with the Democratic Party and the liberal coalition, rather than being a major component of the New Right.
• Politicians: This is a general professional category, not a specific grassroots demographic group or constituency that defined the New Right movement.

Answer:

• (A) People from southwest (Correct answer)
• (B) Young adults
• (C) Jews
• (D) Politicians
