Answer:

Explanation:

it demands an end to poverty and racial injustice.” Some remnants of Johnson's idealistic “Great Society” survive today. Some see the Great Society as a success, moving the nation towards a more just and equitable society.

The Great Society was a set of domestic programs in the United States launched by Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964–65. The main goal was the total elimination of poverty and racial injustice.

1. Of the several Lyndon B Johnson major accomplishments, the Great Society legislation was perhaps the most significant. It was his signature legislation that upheld civil rights, brought in laws governing public broadcasting, environmental protection, Medicare and Medicaid, abolition of poverty and aid to education.

In many respects it was. Lyndon Johnson's program picked up where John Kennedy's New Frontier had ended. Among the many programs which he instituted were the War on Poverty to end suffering of Americans. Among its more successful programs was the Job Corps to help unemployed inner city young people find work, Project Head Start for disadvantaged pre-schoolers, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), a domestic version of the Peace Corps, and the Community Action Program, which helped direct aid to poor neighborhoods. Although technically not part of the Great Society Program, Lyndon Johnson was also instrumental in passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which outlawed discrimination in places of public accommodation, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which suspended literacy tests in areas where less than half the eligible voters had actually voted.  Other programs were Medicare and Medicaid, and creation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

All this of course had a cost. Johnson's policy, like many other Democratic presidents, was a Keynesian policy of massive government spending. His expenditures were so massive, however that the country experienced high unemployment and high inflation at the same time. This was a situation which economists had never seen before, so they were forced to develop a new name for it: stagflation.

Reptile [31]
I’m not sure what “the two crown” is, but if you mean the double crown, it’s what pharaohs of the first dynasty would wear.
The Double Crown symbolizes the joining of Lower and Upper Egypt, and the pharaoh’s control over both lands.

I’m not sure if this is the answer you were looking for, but if you have another question abt it lmk :)
