FDR's first major act as president was the Emergency Banking Act. Passed just 5 days after his inauguration, FDR did this in hopes of stabilizing the banking industry. At this time in the US, the Great Depression was in full swing and banks were struggling. This is because so many people were trying to take out their money from the banks that thousands of banks all over the country were forced to close due to lack of paper currency.
With the Emergency Banking Act, FDR declares a "bank holiday." This 4 day period allowed the federal government to start reorganizing the banks and to provide currency to those banks who needed it.

when Thomas Jefferson was writing the Declaration of Independence. He took the statement but he realize that he couldn't assure everybody to have property. So he said the pursuit of happiness, because of all the horrible and Intolerable Acts sugar acts and facts that were put on them during British rule. So the pursuit of happiness is that they will be able to be happy and do whatever they want within the law so they have more freedoms and they don't have to do things like taking soldiers anymore and they won't feel like they're suffering. And because they couldn't ensure that everybody was able to own land they changed it for that reason.
