Quick student answer
Which of the following best describes the main goal of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal?
Direct answer
The main goal of the New Deal was to provide immediate economic relief and recovery to the United States during the Great Depression.
Key terms
- Keynesian Economics: An economic theory advocating for increased government expenditures and lower taxes to stimulate demand and pull the global economy out of depression.
- Social Security Act: A 1935 law that created a system of old-age benefits and unemployment insurance, marking a significant expansion of the federal government's role in social welfare.
Common trap
Overgeneralizing the New Deal's impact: It's important to specify that while the New Deal provided significant relief and recovery, the full economic recovery was not achieved until World War II.
