What action by Congress allowed President Johnson to expand the war in Vietnam? Why? What were the results?

During the Vietnam war, congress gave LBJ the unprecedented power of sending troops without declaring war. This allowed him to send US troops to Vietnam to support the war effort without getting completely involved in an all-out war. After the war, Congress realized it should limit the president's power and they signed the war powers act that restricted the president's power to send troops to foreign countries. If the results of the war were different (if we had succeeded instead of failed) Congress may not have been so strict about signing the war powers act.

Hope this helps!! :))

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
