Because LBJ, under the Tolkien Resolution, was given basically infinite power to protect U.S interests in Vietnam. Thus, President Johnson continued to "escalate", or build up American forces, weapons, and intervention in Vietnam. Now, somewhat opposite of this would be "Vietnamization" under Nixon, which was the gradual withdrawal of American troops but a continuation of supplies in order to aid South Vietnam from the Vietcong.
Answer:
Populist party
Explanation:
The 16th amendment (graduated income tax) and 17th amendment (direct election of senators) were originally ideas of POPULIST PARTY (an 1890s successful 3rd party who never won a presidential election)
This is evident in the fact that though the Populist Party never won a Presidential election, they were more successful in influencing the political landscape of the United States during their existence.
Some other legacies of the Populist Party are:
1. expansion of currency and credit structure
2. Railroad legislation
3. Postal saving banks
4. Subtreasury plan.
