Answer 1

Answer:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected into public office right after the period that the country experienced a huge decline in the stock market. He decided to make a speech to assure the people that he is working towards reviving the economy. He says "our greatest primary task is to put the people to work" and to achieve this there has to be massive recruitment of workers that must commence immediately. He also states that there will be "a strict supervision of all banking and credit facilities" this is to prevent a future crash of the stock market.
