Question 1 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

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

Both John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson supported social legislation intended to improve life in the United States. Kennedy proposed programs such as the New Frontier, and Johnson expanded domestic reforms through the Great Society. Johnson took office after Kennedy’s assassination, but Kennedy did not take office after a president was assassinated, so A is not correct.
