Solution

The 1964 election helped President Lyndon B. Johnson in several ways. However, based on the options provided, the most accurate would be B. He could pass new laws.

After his election in 1964, Johnson had a strong mandate and a Democratic majority in Congress, which allowed him to pass significant legislation. This included the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited racial discrimination in voting.

While the Civil Rights Act did help to end segregation (option A), it's important to note that this was a process that took many years and involved many people and institutions, not just President Johnson.

As for option C, while the Supreme Court did play a role in advancing civil rights during this time, it was not directly due to Johnson's election in 1964.

Finally, option D is incorrect because the draft was not ended during Johnson's presidency. In fact, the draft was expanded during the Vietnam War, which took place during Johnson's time in office.
