How much of the "Contract with America" did Newt get put into legislation?

Actually, with a sitting Democratic President Bill Clinton and a Democratic controlled Senate, Newt accomplished quite a bit

Also parts of the Contract were not actually laws being passed, but policy changes in the way we were governed

Yes, he did, including running himself out of Congress.

Yes, it was a mixture of both. But most of the acts listed in the contract never got passed.
