Today we are starting a new project. I have the Agricultural Adjustment Act(1st and 2nd)(AAA), as well as FDR vs the US Supreme Court-Court Packing issue. We will have to make a powerpoint presentation for our topics. After completing the powerpoint we need to embed them onto our webpade otherwise it will be minus four points on our next grade. Mr. Bruns also told us that if we read directly off of our powerpoint slides that we will more than likely receive a below average grade.Next we started talking about the Causes of the Great Depression. Some of the causes included..Causes from the book1)wealth was unequally distributed among the population2)many people go into debt on installment plans3)old and decaying industrial base makes U.S. industry less competitive4)industry and agriculture overproduce5)Government pursues unsuccessful economic policies-tariff/war debts6)stock market crash leads to financial panic-speculationEffects1)People suffer widespread unemployment, hunger, poverty, and homelessness.2)Industrial and farm production falls.3)World economic crisis develops.4)Democrats win victory in 1932.5)Roosevelt initiates the New Deal.
