Question

Name two laws that were passed as part of the Great Society and explain the purpose of each law.

Answer 1

Medicare was one of the most popular laws passed as part of the Great Society. This federal program helps to cover medical costs for American citizens over the age of 65.

The National School Lunch Act was also another law passed during the Great Society. This helped to provide free or reduced for children from low income families.

Both of these laws were part of Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society." LBJ was focused on creating an American society in which individuals did not suffer from poverty or famine.
