President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society is similar to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal in that both programs:
A) Supported federal funding of programs for the poor.
B) Advocated passage of civil rights laws to help African Americans.
The Great Society, introduced by President Johnson in the 1960s, aimed to combat poverty and racial injustice through federal programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the Civil Rights Act. Similarly, Roosevelt's New Deal during the 1930s focused on alleviating the effects of the Great Depression by implementing programs like Social Security and the Civilian Conservation Corps, while also laying the groundwork for civil rights legislation. Both initiatives shared a common goal of addressing social and economic inequalities through government intervention and support for marginalized groups in society.
