Answer the following question in a 1,000 to 1,500 word essay:
During the 1960s and 1970s under the leadership of Pat Brown, Ronald Reagan and Jerry Brown, the role of government changed in California. Discuss. Your
answer should focus on changing government policy toward 1) water; 2) civil rights; 3) education; 4) the environment and 5) taxes.
Your essay should have a main thesis (or central argument) that is clearly stated in the introductory paragraph. It should include concrete examples (brief
discussions of people, events, organizations, etc.) from the books and primary source documents that support the essay’s major points. Finally, it should
address potential counterarguments and conclude with a summation of your main thesis.
