Question

what is the main reason so many great society programs became law during the johnson presidency?
the democrats had a supermajority in congress and passed many of the bills johnson proposed.
the republicans had a supermajority in congress and passed many of the bills johnson proposed.
johnson used his experience as a teacher to educate and excite the people of the united states about his great
society plan.
johnson was an eastern intellectual; as a result, the public related to him and supported his programs.

Explanation:

During Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency, the Democratic Party held a large, veto-proof supermajority in both houses of Congress. This allowed them to pass the extensive set of Great Society legislation Johnson proposed, as there was enough support to overcome any potential opposition. The other options are incorrect: Republicans did not hold a supermajority, Johnson's teaching experience was not the key driver, and he was a Southern politician, not an Eastern intellectual, so public connection was not rooted in that trait.

Answer:

A. The Democrats had a supermajority in Congress and passed many of the bills Johnson proposed.
