Great Society

The establishment of the Medicare program in 1965 was a key component of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society initiative, which aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice while promoting access to quality healthcare. Medicare reflected the Great Society's ideals by providing health insurance to older Americans, thereby addressing the needs of vulnerable populations and reducing economic disparities. This program exemplified the government's commitment to social welfare and the belief that access to healthcare is a fundamental right. Ultimately, Medicare helped to expand the social safety net and promote greater equity in healthcare access.

Most of the justices on the Warren Court were appointed by Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Earl Warren was the guiding force on the Court, so Johnson really can't take credit for that.

The Great Society, which spawned Medicaid and Medicare, the US government's initial foray into health care reform, was the most radically progressive legislation since Roosevelt's New Deal. Johnson also declared war on poverty, improved the educational system, and promoted civil rights.

And he got us deeply involved in the Viet Nam war which, sadly, is what people remember most about his administration. The public's reaction to the war resulted in Richard Nixon being elected President and empowered neoconservativism, the enemy of human rights.

Major goals of President Johnson's Great Society were to help end poverty and to end discrimination in voter registration.

Head Start.

Gorbachev recognized that better relations with the United States would allow the Soviets to reduce their military spending and reform their economy. As a result, he initiated a series of arms-control meetings that led to the INF Treaty (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty) signed on December 8, 1987. The United States Senate rati- fied the treaty five months later in May 1988. The treaty eliminated two classes of weapons systems in Europe and allowed each nation to make on-site inspections of the other's military installations.

It provided federal scholarships to assist students with tuition.

As Medicare & medicaid has goal of affordable care for elders and for those who are permanently disable it facilitate such people with reasonable health care, hence it fits in with great society goals of providing affordable health care system.

Peggy Eaton was snubbed by the wives of President Andrew Jackson's Cabinet members. The President then took it upon himself to defend Peggy and introduce her into society.

The Great Depression in the United States began on October 29, 1929 and the Great Society programs started in response to the Great Depression programs.

Some of the economic resources that societies use to achieve their goals include public borrowing and monetary policies. The authorities also build public infrastructure such as fabrication labs, bridges, ports and railways to ease business. This ain't right 😤😤✋✋

They wanted to help America's new industries compete with foreign industries.

False. The Pure Food and Drug Act was passed under Theodore Roosevelt, in 1906,, long before the Great Society

1. A bigger federal government is better than a bigger state governments

o Alexander Hamilton wrote

§ "Let us see what will be the consequences of not authorizing the federal government to regulate the trade of these states. Besides the want of revenue and of power; besides the immediate risk to our independence, the dangers of all the future evils of a precarious Union; besides the deficiency of a wholesome concert and provident superintendence to advance the general prosperity of trade - the direct consequence will be that the landed interest and the laboring poor will, in the first place, fall a sacrifice to the trading interest, and the whole eventually to a bad system of policy made necessary by the want of such regulating power."

§ "Each state will be afraid to impose duties on its commerce lest the other states, not doing the same, should enjoy greater advantages than itself by being able to afford native commodities cheaper abroad and foreign commodities cheaper at home."

§ "There is something noble and magnificent in the perspective of a great federal republic…"

o The states would argue

§ The more power you have, the more power you want, until we get a second civil war

§ Strong federal Government can help solve disputes among the states

o A big federal government can help to unify us

§ After civil war, the north and south still do not like each other

§ Government can act as a unifying force

o Federalists

§ The federalists, who wanted a big national government, also wanted the Constitution

§ No big federal government, no constitution

We would probably be overthrown because of our lack of unity

The Cold War had a lot to do with Civil Rights. At the time Martin Luther King was doing his part to help Civil Rights and the US Government wasn't doing much to help him with it. King was getting donations from all over, including communist countries. This part was kept 'hush' because the FBI was watching King to make sure there was no wrong doing and due to the policies of the media, this wasn't allowed to be publicized. This also affected the Civil rights movements positively in a small but influential mannerism.
