Question

Why was president Roosevelt able to enact new reforms during the second new deal

Answer 1

The Second New Deal was a continuation and expansion of the original New Deal program enacted by US President Roosevelt during the Great Depression. By 1933, Roosevelt’s New Deal was being criticized, because many felt it did not offer enough relief and that very little had improved in terms of job growth and economic stability.

The main reason why President Roosevelt needed to create a Second New Deal was because "The economy continued to struggle with high unemployment rates and widespread poverty". FDR had also been given more incentive because the previous New Deal policies had for the most part been a success.

Answer 2

Because it was the middle of the Great Depression, and the previous president, President Hoover strategy was to ignore and hope it rises over. FDR’s reforms created a lot of jobs, which the people needed. Congressmen are supposed to represent the people.
