Which conservative lobby group sought to unseat liberal elected officials?

• A. NRA
• B. Heritage Foundation
• C. Moral Majority
• D. Contract with America

Answer: (C)

Mobilizing voters through religious and social networks to influence elections is the idea behind this item. The Moral Majority, formed by Jerry Falwell and others in the late 1970s, built a nationwide movement by organizing churches, media outreach, and voter drives to support conservative candidates and oppose liberal policies. Their goal was to shift political power by getting conservatives elected, which fits the description of trying to unseat liberal officials.

In contrast, the NRA concentrates on gun rights lobbying and endorsing candidates within that narrow issue area, rather than a broad effort to replace liberal officials. The Heritage Foundation operates as a policy think tank that shapes ideas and legislative proposals rather than engaging in electoral campaigns to remove officials. The Contract with America was a Republican platform in the 1994 election, not a grassroots lobby group aimed at unseating liberals.
