C. To provide employment through federal deficit spending.

Explanation:

Both the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration were created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was part of the New Deal, which was created in 1933 and was designed to help Americans during the Great Depression.

The Great Depression was an awful time in history, people were losing their jobs, homes, and could not afford basic items. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt was running for office, he would famously say, "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people." He wanted to create programs and opportunities for people during the Great Depression, he called the series of programs and projects the New Deal.

Two of the programs that were implemented with the New Deal were the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration. Both of these were designed to give Americans jobs and put money in the hands of the people.

Who is sir mordred and why does he meet king arthur's ships with an army

loris [4]

Sir Modred or Mordred is usually said to be Arthur's son by his half-sister Margause. He rebelled while Arthur was away fighting Lancelot in France and met him with an army when he returned. Arthur drove his lance through Modred, and Modred struck Arthur with his sword in the head. A hand comes out of the water to catch Arthur's sword. Then several ladies in a boat come to get Arthur. Some versions of the story say he went to Avalon and is still there but will return when Britain needs him most. A French chanson says Arthur and Huon of Bordeaux struggled for the rule of Avalon.

The Articles of Confederation was our first plan of government after the Revolutionary War. One success this plan of government had was in how it dealt with the organization and the sale of western lands.

What reasons did i give for saying max weber's definition of government as "a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force"

Alisiya [41]

Due to the American system of federalism, over many areas of public policy, no single government has a monopoly over the legitimate use of force.

It emphasizes the executive function of government at the expense of the legislative and judicial functions of government.
