The death of President Kennedy
President Lyndon B. Johnson gained more support for social reforms after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The tragedy galvanized the nation and created a sense of urgency for Johnson to advance Kennedy's vision, particularly in areas like civil rights and poverty alleviation. His ability to frame social reforms as a continuation of Kennedy's legacy helped him rally bipartisan support for initiatives such as the War on Poverty and the Civil Rights Act. Ultimately, this momentum contributed to significant legislative achievements during his presidency.
Andrew Johnson replaced Hannibal Hamlin on Abraham Lincoln's second election ticket because Lincoln believed there was a political advantage to be gained. Johnson was supported by the War Democrats (became the National Union Party) and broadened Lincoln's base of support. Lincoln also considered Tennessee-native Johnson would be useful during the anticipated Reconstruction of the South.
Vice President Andrew Johnson took over the Presidency when President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in April, 1865. Vice President Lyndon Johnson took over the Presidency when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in November, 1963.
As Vice President for 8 years (1953-1961) under Dwight Eisenhower, Nixon had lost to John F. Kennedy for the Presidency in 1960. But he still had substantial support in the Republican Party, including conservatives such as Barry Goldwater (who lost to Lyndon Johnson). His campaign for fiscally-responsible government (and law-and-order) gained him popularity, and his opposition to the war in Vietnam gave him an advantage over his opponent, Johnson's Vice President Hubert Humphrey.
Goldwater's advocacy for the use of nuclear weapons played a significant role in Johnson's landslide victory. Johnson ended up winning with 61.1 percent of the vote.

Napoleon implemented several reforms that garnered support from various social classes, including the establishment of the Napoleonic Code, which provided a uniform legal framework that emphasized equality before the law and property rights. His educational reforms expanded access to schools and created a merit-based system, appealing to the middle class and aspiring elites. Additionally, he stabilized the economy through the creation of the Bank of France and the introduction of the franc, which gained favor among the business class. By balancing the interests of the nobility, clergy, and the bourgeoisie, Napoleon effectively consolidated his power and support across diverse segments of society.
