Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The ideal answer should:
a. Discuss how Lyndon Johnson's transition occurred in the midst of a national crisis in the aftermath of the assassination of John F. Kennedy and thus, unlike many of his contemporaries,Johnson had no time to prepare.
b. Explain how, unlike other vicepresidents such as Bush, Johnson was an outsider in the administration who was excluded and often held in personal and political disdain by members of the executive branch.
c. Analyze how the context of the assassination created a transitionduring which Johnson had to project an image of legitimacy and stability to the nation, which made it difficult for him to remove existing administration members who did not support him.
d. Assess how Johnson was able to turn the transition to his advantage through the passage of a host of landmark legislative acts that paved the way for his successful run for the presidency in 1964.
