SummaryJames Earl “Jimmy” Carter was the thirty-ninth President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Before becoming president, he was the Governor of Georgia, and served two terms at the senate. He was regarded as an outcast to traditional party politics. The start of his presidency was marked by caution, conservatism, frustrations, and disappointments. Economic stagnation together with inflation, energy crisis, war in Afghanistan, and Iran hostage crisis were the events that besieged his presidency.Jimmy Carter desired to have an administration capable of providing the needs of his people. He promised to reform the tax system, reduce the number of useless agencies in the federal bureaucracy, but created two cabinet-level departments: the Department of Energy and the Department of Education, initiated a national energy policy to remove price controls from domestic petroleum production, introduced a staggered increase in the payroll tax by strengthening the Social Security system, and openly recognized the basic human rights considerations as an integral component of American foreign policy.
