Answer 1

Liberal leaders wanted to change New Deal programs by building on and expanding them.

The New Deal  was an interventionist policy consisting on diverse programs, public work projects, financial reforms, and regulations that President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented in the United States between 1933 and 1936. It was a response to the needs for relief, reform, and recovery from the Great Depression.

The New Deal was a liberal policy and President Roosevelt was supported by most of liberal leaders across the country. Hence, liberal leaders aimed to build onto and expand these policies seekig to fight poverty, to extend social and economic rights, to enhance the quality of life of millions of workers, and to create a welfare state system.
