President Truman's "Fair Deal" proposed that Congress work on:
- Expanding Social Security
- Increase minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour
- Implementing anti-discrimination policies in employment
- Addressing civil rights issues
- Expanding public housing
- Providing federal aid to education
- Establishing national health insurance

This way, the Judicial branch ensures that the other two branches don't abuse from their power.
