Answer 1

Answer:

The  bitter political partisanship in Washington, D.C., in the 1990's was so unexpected:

Because the President Bill Clinton was not on the right or left side but was moving towards the political center.

Explanation:

Political Center:

In Political terminology, the political center is defined as the moderate stance in which you are not either supporting or opposing something.

In 1990's

• The segregation of schools rose as well as the domestic terrorism increased.
• But Mr. Clinton took a moderate position which is known as  "Center" in politics terminology instead of taking a strong and clear stance towards the current situations.
