Why was the new deal challenged?
Created a very powerful president that led congress, this was violation of checks and balances
it was a radical departure from Laissez Faire ideals.
Some acts appeared interfering and at worst unconstitutional
Heavy debt burden - the United States was engaged n deficit spending and this was unhealthy for the economy in the long run
New Deal vs 2nd new deal
Restore nations hope
help banks and stock market
provide jobs and relief for poor
plan and regulate the economy
pass new labor laws
create and expand new deal agencies
establish social security for older people and unemployed
