Answer 1

Answer:

  The Great Society.

Answer 2

The New Deal policies of President franklin d. roosevelt included new federal initiatives to help those in poverty. Withmillions of people unemployed during the 1930s economic depression, welfare assistance was beyond the financialresources of the states. Therefore, the federal government provided funds either directly to recipients or to the states formaintaining a minimum standard of living.
