Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal

Franklin Delano Roosevelts New Deal plan was a plan that pulled the American people from the Great Depression. It rebuilt the economy and arguably America itself. People could feel safe and normal again because of it and America regained its dignity from its success on a small scale and a large one. Naturally, it had its flaws and enemies but it was overall a great plan and a one that was needed urgently. In this essay, I will argue that the New Deal was crucial plan for America, its people, and the economy. The New Deal was crucial to the rebuilding and reinvention of the United States microeconomics. Families who were unable to support themselves finally got much-needed jobs, and they could sustain themselves. Families who still had no breadwinners
He found opposition from liberals who said it was not extreme enough, and conservatives who said it was too extreme. Many people from the social class he was born into were horrified at their perception that he was ‘betraying’ the rich by raising their taxes to support the poor. Another group that disagreed strongly with the plans of the New Deal, but held more power than the upper class was the Supreme Court. The head Justice Charles Evan Hughes and the ‘four horsemen’ of the Supreme Court were strong opposition to the New Deal, and declared 11 of the President’s 16 proposed laws unconstitutional from the conservative perspective. One liberal that also resisted the New Deal was Senator Huey Long or “Kingfish” from Louisiana. He found that it was not strict enough to do as much good as he hoped for, and proposed the “Share Our Wealth” plan. He was rather unpopular outside of Louisiana because of this plan, including plans to confiscate the money of the wealthy and redistribute it. However, it will never be known, however unlikely, if he would have been willing to revise the plan and run for President, because he was killed in 1935. However, if the plan was made to fit the conservatives idea, it would have had little effect of America and wind up being all but useless to the country. On the other end of the spectrum, a more liberal plan may have had more success but that would only happen it
It rebuilt the economy to be much stronger and more supportive of the people. People were able to live more normal lives and the country was returning to normal. Like all things, the New Deal had its flaws and opposition, but it was overall very successful and necessary, and the United States was pulled out of the last of the slump by WWII. As you can see, the New Deal was great success and other plans or lack of action could have proven to be fruitless a best and fatal for America at
