Best Answer

Johnson wanted a lot from Congress, and as a previous Congressman, he generally succeeded in his efforts. The most notable pieces of legislation that Johnson was able to get passed was the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (which significantly escalated the war in Vietnam), the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and a variety of Great Society programs.
