The famous "Sweeping Changes" political cartoon from 1932 represents how Franklin D. Roosevelt will reorganize the federal government in order to help America escape the Great Depression.

These sweeping changes that are referred to come with FDR's New Deal. This policy is based around relief, recovery, and reform.
