Question

How did the Gulf on Tonkin Resolution affect relations between the legislative and executive branches of the Us government

Answer 1

Answer:

It increased the power of the executive at the expense of the legislature.

Explanation:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed almost unanimously by Congress, gave the Johnson administration a free hand in Vietnam without the constraints normally applied by the legislature. As a consequence it greatly increased the power of the executive.

However as the war went increasingly badly for the USA, relations between the two branches of government deteriorated.
