Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 1 Section A: Period studies, then anchor the answer in Part two: Bust: Americans' experiences of the Depression and New Deal. The evidence should connect to Study the effectiveness of the New Deal on different groups, including successes, limitations, opposition from the Supreme Court, Republicans and Radical politicians, and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.
Common mistake

A common mistake is to write about Roosevelt as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1920-1973.
Anchor the answer to Part two: Bust: Americans' experiences of the Depression and New Deal, use precise evidence, and state whether Roosevelt is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
