1. Why was there a Great Depression? 2. How did ordinary people respond to the Great Depression? 3.How was President Roosevelt's response to the Great Depression different than President Hoover? 4. What was President Roosevelt's New Deal? 5. Did the New Deal solve the economic problems of the Great Depression? 6. How were human rights violated or upheld during the great depression and the new deal?

1. There was a great depression due to the stock market crash.

2. Not 100% sure, but I think there was significant panic due to people losing their jobs, and people were worried about how they would pay for goods, bills, etc.

3. It was different because president Hoover wanted to help businesses rather than the individual people he also thought that helping the people would become abused by them. He believed in rugged individualism which meant that individuals could succeed on their own and government help should be minimal. His approach was a more “do nothing.” Which didn’t help all the people struggling. While President Roosevelt dealt with it head on and led the people through the depression with economic steps. He used the three R’s, relief, recovery, and reform.

4. Presidents Roosevelt’s New deal were programs and projects that aimed to bring people back from the Great Depression.

5. It did help to some extent. The were lots of issues with the new deal program. Such as declaring some “Unconstitutional.” It was a road to recovery.

6. Honestly I’m not sure!! :( I think one of them would be the WPA which was just a relief program. Though it could’ve had political favoritism. Which towns would get help? NRA was one that got declared unconstitutional. This one provided money and assistance and aid for business that went along with the program. It was found to be controlling private businesses.
