Johnson's Great Society

Question 2 • Fall 24 US History B IC

How were Kennedy and Johnson similar?

Answer
A
They both took office after the assassination of a president.
B
They both lowered the minimum wage for workers.
C
They both supported social legislation to improve the US.
D
They both opposed civil rights legislation.

Explanation

Kennedy and Johnson both supported social legislation intended to improve life in the United States. Kennedy proposed reforms such as expanded health care and aid to education, and Johnson advanced programs including Medicare and the War on Poverty. Johnson took office after Kennedy’s assassination, but Kennedy did not take office after a president was assassinated, so A is not true of both.
