After World War II, Congress concentrated on passing laws related to rebuilding and revitalizing the economy, such as the GI Bill of Rights, which provided financial assistance to veterans for education, housing, and other benefits. Additionally, Congress passed laws related to civil rights and desegregation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Other areas of focus included expanding social welfare programs, strengthening national security, and promoting economic growth and development.
