 :President Lyndon Johnson is a perfect example of someone who did not learn from history. One of the things he is known best for is creating the “Great Society.” The Great Society was supposed to end poverty giving government money to poor people. It was very similar to the “New Deal,” previously put out by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. The New Deal also promised to help the poor by giving them taxpayer money. However, this program completely failed. And just like the New Deal, the Great Society failed as well. If President Johnson had studied the New Deal and learned of its failure, then he would not have created another program so similar to it.  (Ruth L.)

 :The 22nd Amendment. It limited the length of time a President could be in office, and also effectively, though unintentionally, limited the Presidents power while in office. Congress would not have to worry about dealing with a president for more than 8 years, while their offices had no term limits to worry about, except those imposed by voters. At the same time, this amendment allowed the president to not worry about public opinion as much in his second term. It struck a nice balance in executive and legislative power.  (Michelle F.)
