Why do Americans hold unrealistically high expectations of government and its ability to institute reform?

History

laiz [17]3 years ago

Answer:  The correct answer is :  Most political change is incremental. 150 years ago the federal government had fewer responsibilities and citizens had few expectations. State governments were more powerful. When the nation and the economy grew in size, citizens' expectations increased and the federal government acquired more responsibilities. FDR's New Deal was an example of this. Changes in the population have also created controversy. Americans have high and often unrealistic expectations of the government, but often do not appreciate how much their government really does for them. The lack of confidence of the Americans in the institutions also explains part of the apathy evidenced in the electorate.

During campaigns, politicians create a lot of promises that may be impossible to do. A lot of people also hope that elected officials will serve the people without political division or greed. There was also lost of trust in the government.

Woodrow Wilson's distrust of corporate banking led him to:
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Creation of Federal Reserve System

Explanation:

An important innovation initiated by Wilson was a complete reorganization of the financial and banking system and monetary circulation. Today, it is difficult for Americans to imagine what kind of financial turmoil reigned in their country from the time of the Civil War until the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, about seven thousand banks were functioning. Gold and silver coins, certificates, notes of the National Bank were in circulation, and all the monetary circulation was under the full control of Wall Street.

To harmonize the financial system with the needs of the economy, Wilson was pushing for a law to create the Federal Reserve System (Fed), which serves as the central bank of the United States. The President adhered to the “golden mean.” He listened to the advice of conservatives and, for the sake of the effective functioning of the financial system, agreed to create 12 regional federal banks. However, the stumbling block was the principle of forming the Fed's board, which, according to the personal plan of Wilson and his progressive advisers, was supposed to regulate its activities. The president had to withstand the extraordinary pressure of banking tycoons accusing him of trying to strip them of control of their property. But he did not make any concessions, considering the appointment of the composition of the board of the Federal Reserve System solely the competence of the president. Therefore, in the management of the Fed, although its ownership is private, the state plays a significant role.
