Answer 1

I am not sure but I think it is "B".

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) they believed it gave the government too much power in the economy.

The conservatives opposed the New Deal because they believed it gave the government too much power in the economy.

Conservative leaders opposed the New Deal because it raised taxes too much, it kept states from regulating their own affairs, it interfered with business and labor practices, and it gave Roosevelt too much power and influence.

The New Deal was a package of programs launched by Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression. The goal of these programs was to reestablish prosperity in America.  

In 1935, Roosevelt launched federal programs such as Works Progress Administration (WPA) to provide jobs and help unemployed people, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the National Industrial Recovery Act NIRA), and the Social Security Administration (SSA).
