23. Contrast President Roosevelt’s New Deal was criticized for doing too much and doing too little.
Choose two critics from each side and contrast their arguments. Answer should look like this:
Some people thought that the programs gave the government too much power and took
away individual freedoms. President Herbert Hoover wrote a book criticizing the New Deal, and
President Taft agreed that the New Deal threatened individual freedom. These and other critics
formed the American Liberty League. Some Supreme Court justices also thought that Roosevelt
was overstepping his powers as President and ruled many of his programs unconstitutional. Some
people believed that Roosevelt was creating an imperial presidency because of the amount of
power he held.Others thought that the programs did not do enough. Communists and socialists
claimed that the new programs benefited only the wealthy. Francis Townsend, Charles Coughlin,
and Huey Long argued that more should be done to help poor Americans and offered plans for
giving direct aid to Americans from the federal government.
24. Draw Conclusions How did New Deal programs both help and hurt American farmers? How
effective was the New Deal in aiding American farmers? Should look like this:
Farmers benefited from subsidies and programs designed to bring electricity to rural areas.
Farmers also benefited from dams, irrigation systems, sewage systems, and hydroelectric plants
that were built by New Deal programs. Sharecroppers and tenant farmers often did not benefit
from New Deal programs designed to help farmers. Others said that New Deal programs
benefited larger farms more than smaller farms. Overall, New Deal programs were effective in
aiding farmers because crop prices and land prices rose, more farmers had electricity, and
flooding and sewage control benefited many people.
