During the Great Depression, President Roosevelt radically changed the relation of the US government to the
American people by promoting aid, relief, and government intervention in the economy. These changes had

New Deal and argue its successes and/or failures. In your own educated and well-explained opinion, did the
New Deal either go too far in providing aid to Americans or not far enough (make sure to use the provided
sources for specifics)?
