A strong, well-developed thesis statement that provides a structured framework for an argument.
The nature and scale of the problem facing Roosevelt
The action he took through the 1930s (the "Hows")
The impact of the New Deal on Americans (Successes / Failures / In-betweens)
The reasons for opposition to the New Deal (Counter-argument)
Your own judgement on its success. (To what extent... / with what success...)
Thesis: The New Deal did very little to help solve the Great depression. This is shown throught the unconstitutional laws involved, the packing of the supreem court, and the socialistic ideas involved.
Unconstitutional laws:
-AAA
-NRA
-the laws didn't help because they were not allowed to exist
-the laws violated the constitution, so even if they helped, the hurt citizens in other ways
Packing the Supreem Court:
-grab for power
-limited support for other laws
-showed FDR only wanted more power, and not to help the people
Socialistic ideas:
-wanted to spread wealth, not help all American's, just poor
-could change U.S to communism, more dangorous than the Depression
-socialism deprives rights, and puts many into povorty
Counter-created jobs:
-did create jobs, but they were unnecessary
-also destroyed others ie. in the AAA(less land, less jobs)
-jobs promoted FDR's agendas, not America's needs
