  • Former President Jimmy Carter served as president of the United States from 1977 to 1981, with a focus on human rights-centered policies.

The article from KGOU provides a retrospective on Jimmy Carter's presidency, highlighting both his achievements and the challenges he faced. Elected in 1976, Carter aimed to restore trust in government post-Watergate and Vietnam War. His presidency saw significant accomplishments like the Camp David Accords, which facilitated peace between Egypt and Israel, and the establishment of the Department of Education. However, his term was also marked by economic turmoil with stagflation, high unemployment, and the energy crisis. Additionally, foreign policy issues, including the Iran hostage crisis, severely impacted his image and effectiveness. Despite these setbacks, Carter's post-presidency work in human rights, democracy, and health initiatives through The Carter Center has been widely praised, earning him a reputation as one of the most active and influential former presidents.
