The correct answer is A) He declared a bank holiday and developed a ranking system for banks.
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt took over, thousands of banks across the US already shut down because they ran out of money. To fix this problem, FDR declared a bank holiday. This means that all banks in the US would be closed for a four day period. During that period, the federal government would go over the records of several different banks to learn more about why they failed. From there, Roosevelt ranked the banks so that the federal government could keep a close eye on the banks that made bad decisions during the 1920's and early 1930's.
Roosevelt was indicating that he wanted to protect American workers (with unemployment insurance), but was not encouraging that persons receive government handouts as a perpetual way of life ("the dole").
The expression, "being on the dole," came into use in Britain after World War I, as slang for receiving unemployment benefits, or money being "doled out" by the government. Frances Perkins, who became Secretary of Labor for the Roosevelt Administration, recalled how Roosevelt had included that line already in a speech as a candidate for the presidency in 1932. She noted that Roosevelt's words were subtly attractive to voters. When he said, "I am for unemployment insurance but not for the dole," it signaled a commitment of his candidacy toward helping the unemployed. "It created a great interest and a great enthusiasm among the voters," she said, and they worked to get such ideas into the Democratic Party's national platform.
Incidentally, Frances Perkins was the first woman to serve in a cabinet position for the US government.
The Democratic Party lost popularity and the 1952 election because of U.S. involvement in Korea. The heavy cost of the war in terms of money and American lives and the failure to win the war were partial reasons for the loss.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty does not violate the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment, but the Eighth Amendment does shape certain procedural aspects regarding when a jury may use the death penalty and how it must be carried out.
