The First Continental Congress was formed in response to the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, passed by the British Parliament in 1774 with the aim of punishing Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party. On September 5, 1774, delegates from twelve of the Thirteen American Colonies met in Philadelphia and issued the Suffolk Resolves, a declaration in which they stated they would boycott imported goods from Britain unless the Intolerable Acts were repealed. After stating this measure, the First Continental Congress disbanded on October 26, 1774.

Which groups was specifically targeted for aid in the programs that comprised the First or Second New Deal?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

<u>The disadvantaged citizens: those most in need, the elderly, the poor, the low-income citizen, the retiree, the disabled, the dependent and the unemployed. </u>

Explanation:

The First and Second New Deal were a series of federal programs and measures created to help the U.S. economy recover from the Great Depression, an economic downturn that impacted the lives of millions of Americans. The programs focused on providing aid especially to disadvantaged citizens, such as those most in need, the elderly, the poor, the low-income citizen, the retiree, the disabled, the dependent and the unemployed.

Some of the most efficient programs that provided relief to this group were the Social Security Act (1935), the Civilian Conservation Corps (1933), the Tennessee Valley Authority (1933) and the Works Progress Administration (1935).
