Discuss President Lyndon Johnson's leadership style and evaluate the success of his Great Society programs
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Personally, Johnson was often crude and vulgar but forceful and very effective in working with Congress. He wanted to continue the Kennedy programs, especially welfare. He was effective in getting civil rights and social welfare legislation passed by Congress. Opposition developed to his programs because they reinforced the tendency toward centralization of government, because of their cost, and because the Vietnam War drew off resources.
