You probably understand passed legislation. The word sweeping means something that changes everything. The elections brought sweeping changes to power structure in Congress. (The balance of power shifted dramatically.)
The drought led to sweeping changes in irrigation policy.

"passed sweeping legislation" means they approved laws that brough big changes, people didn't expect big changes like that and they are in shock. Does it make sense?
