Question

Which is true of Franklin Delano Roosevelt? A. He removed the United States from the gold standard, causing another stock market crash. B. He increased the number of poor people in the South by creating the Tennessee Valley Authority. C. He brought Communism to the United States by creating the Civilian Conservation Corps. D. He established Social Security, which provided an income to older Americans.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) He established Social Security, which provided an income to older Americans.

The goal of this program was to help elderly American citizens survive the Great Depression. The Great Depression was an era in which millions of Americans lost their life savings and jobs. To combat this, President FDR created agencies through his New Deal Program. The Social Security agency became one of the most popular programs, as it not only helped elderly citizens but also helped individuals who were hurt on the job. This program still exists today.
