Question

President Johnson’s great society was intended to create a society free? A Communism. B discrimination. C poverty. D taxes

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. President Johnson's Great Society was intended to create a society free of poverty.

Explanation:

The Great Society was a comprehensive welfare policy reform program initiated by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The Great Society consisted of a number of measures and legislative changes. The two main objectives of the program were to reduce poverty and racial discrimination. Special measures were put into education, health care, urban problems and public transport. The Great Society program followed up the New Deal and John F. Kennedy's New Frontier. Johnson's persuasive skills and ability to negotiate with Congress, combined with the Democrats' election in 1964, prompted the program's adoption.  

The Vietnam War escalated at the same time, which led to the draw of attention from the Great Society, but Richard Nixon continued many of the costly elements, while Ronald Reagan ended many of them later.
