Explanation

Democrats held large majorities in both houses of Congress during much of Lyndon Johnson’s presidency. That gave Johnson the votes to pass many of his Great Society proposals, including major civil rights, education, and anti-poverty legislation. Republicans did not have a congressional supermajority, so choice B is incorrect.
