    The New Deal implemented relief, recovery and reform programs to help the US economy recover from the Great Depression and fundamentally changed the role of the federal government.

    The three main categories of New Deal programs were Relief, Recovery, and Reform.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was created to regulate the stock market and protect investors.

    Analyze the responses of Franklin D.

    Roosevelt's
    administration to the problems of the Great Depression.
    How effective were there responses? How did they change
    the role of the federal government?

    Introduction
    The 1929 stock-market crash and the ensuing Great
    Depression exposed major weaknesses in the U.S. and world
    economies. These ranged from chronically low farm prices and
    uneven income distribution to trade barriers, a surplus of
    consumer goods, and a constricted money supply. As the crisis
    deepened, President Hoover struggled to respond. In 1932,
    with Hoover's reputation in tatters, FDR and his promised
    "New Deal" brought a surge of hope.Although FDR's New Deal
    did not end the Great Depression it eased the people's
    suffering and reformed many of the problems that contributed
    to the depression by providing relief, recovery, and reform
    while fundamentally changing the role of the federal
    government towards the people.

    Bucket 1 Relief
    Bank Holiday/Emergency Banking Relief Act- Closed all banks;
    government then investigated banks and only those that were
    solvent ones were allowed to reopen

    FERA--Sent millions of dollars to states to use in DIRECT RELIEF


    payments and food for the unemployed
    CCC-Created jobs for over two million young unmarried men in
    conservation work and parks

    HOLC- Lowered mortgages to stop foreclosures.

    Bucket 2 Recovery
    AAA- Paid farmers to reduce the amount of crops they planted,
    in order to cut excess production

    NRA-Set up voluntary agreements among businesses to cut


    excess production.( prices,wages, and hours of work) SET
    RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE ECONOMY( created NIRA)

    NIRA- Authorized the President to regulate industry and permit


    cartels and monopolies in attempt to stimulate economic
    recovery.

    WPA- Created jobs for millions of unemployed people


    construction roads, hospitals, post offices, parks, and many
    other projects. The WPA also included a program that hired
    out-of-work artists, photographers, actors, and writers for a
    wide range of artistic and educational projects.

    TVA- Built hydroelectric power plants and flood control dams in


    seven states in the Tennessee River region

    Bucket 3 Reform
    FDIC- Protected people's bank deposits, thus eliminating the
    problem of "bank runs" that were a serious problem in the
    early 1930's.

    SEC-Created to supervise the stock market and protect


    investors from dishonest practices.
    National Labor Relations Act (Wagner act)- Gave labor unions
    the right to organize and represent the workers in collective
    Bargaining.

    Social Security Act- Created a federal system of old-age


    pensions and assistance for orphans and the disabled, It also
    created an unemployment insurance system.

    Fair Labor Standards Act- Set up the first national minimum


    wage law and abolished child labor.

    Soil Conservation Act- To make sure that another dust bowl


    was avoided.

    Conclusion- Initially focusing on immediate economic relief and


    recovery, Roosevelt welcomed big business in his depression-
    fighting coalition. By 1935, however, the New Deal adopted a
    more class-based approach, FDR now addressed the plight of
    the poor, including sharecroppers and migrants; pursued
    tougher business regulation and higher taxes for the
    wealthy.The New Deal had its downside. Some programs
    failed, and recovery proved elusive. But the New Deal's
    achievements remain noteworthy, reflection an unprecedented
    level of engagement with social and economic issues. The New
    Dealers radically reshaped the nature of the presidency, the
    nation's political agenda, and citizens' understanding of the
    role of government.
