Part 2
Most historians agree that the New Deal did not solve the problems of the Great Depression and that, in short, it failed to bring about full economic
recovery. Nevertheless, it can be argued that the New Deal was significant in that it introduced a new political tradition and brought fundamental
change in a number of areas to America.
Write a 350-word response to the following question:
Do you think the New Deal changed the relationship between citizens and the federal government and if so, how? For example, should the
government help regulate the economy?
Answer: Yes, the New Deal significantly changed the relationship between citizens and the federal government, primarily by
expanding the role of the government in the economy and society. Before the New Deal, the federal government generally took a more
hands-off approach to economic issues, relying on market forces and state/local governments to address problems. However, the Great
Depression revealed the limitations of this approach, leading to a major shift.
