The correct answer is <em>C). Rather than eliminating services and cutting spending, it increased social welfare programs</em>.
Franklin Roosevelt’s election as president changed the way the U.S. government responded to the Great Depression <em>increasing social welfare programs, rather than eliminating services and cutting spending.
</em>
The U.S. government adopted an economic solution based on spending more instead of saving. What Roosevelt needed to do was to incite the economy to improve the possibility of a quick recovery. Roosevelt tried to restore the people’s confidence in the bank system after the markets crash. He devaluated the currency to encourage exportations.
Throughout the years there have been many different rulers in the United States. As a country we have been able to see what works and what failed based on other countries rulers. One of the things we have seen end badly is fascist dictators. There has only been pain and suffering associated with fascist dictators; like the ruling of Adolf Hitler. With our social advancements and morals of today I do not see our country ever having a fascist dictator.
