'''4.''' One of the two things President Johnson is known for is starting "Great Society" programs. The main object was to end poverty, so the "Office of Economic Opportunity" program, "Medicare," and "Medicaid" were started in the 1960s, alongside two others, "Elementary and Secondary Education and Higher Education Acts," and "Department of Housing and Urban Development."

'''5.''' Probably one of the most important Amendments that were ratified is the 22nd Amendment, passed under the hand of the 80th Congress. This Amendment is keeping future presidents from spending more then two full terms in office, simply because it's something that Washington did nearly 350 years ago, and his example should be followed. In addition, this protects us from a dictatorship until the Amendment is changed or discarded completely, keeping America a free country. That's the main thing that I admire in the entire 80th Congress.
'''6.''' The person I chose to be one of the most influential and important people in the mid 1900s is not only important to Christianity for showing us how we should view people with a Biblical perspective, but to America today. This man started the major beginnings of a movement that potentially allowed Barack Obama to be selected president. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for every bit of freedom before he was shot at age thirty-nine. No man or woman should have to fight to show that they're equal to the rest of the population, they should already be equal without being forced to take a stand. Nearly every child will recognize the name "Martin Luther King," for he took such a major stand that it was recognized by not just America, but the world along with it.
