Republican Party Platform of 1984
Contents:
A Free and Just Society
In 1980, the Republican Party offered a vision of America’s future that applied our traditions to today’s problems. It is the vision of a society more free and more just than any in history. It required a break with the worn-out past, to redefine the role of government and its relationship with individuals and their institutions. Under President Reagan’s leadership, the American people are making that vision a reality.
The American people want an opportunity society, not a welfare state. They want government to foster an environment in which individuals can develop their potential without hindrance.
The Constitution is the ultimate safeguard of individual rights. As we approach the Constitutional Bicentennial in 1987, Republicans are restoring its vitality, which had been transgressed by Democrats in Congress, the executive, and in the courts.
We are renewing the federal system, strengthening the States, and returning power to the people. That is the surest course to our common goal: a free and just society.
