Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 2

How might the New Deal have been more successful?

Accepted Answer

The New Deal could have been more successful if it had focused on addressing the root causes of the Great Depression and not just the immediate symptoms. While the programs implemented under the New Deal did provide relief to millions of Americans, they did not fully solve the underlying economic issues.

Additionally, the New Deal could have been more successful if it had been more inclusive of minority groups, particularly African Americans and women. Many of the programs and policies were discriminatory and excluded these groups from fully benefiting from the economic recovery efforts.

Furthermore, the New Deal could have been more successful if it had been more comprehensive in its approach to social and economic reform. While it did introduce important legislation and programs, it did not fully address issues such as inequality, labor rights, and the financial system.

Overall, the New Deal could have been more successful if it had taken a more holistic and inclusive approach to addressing the challenges of the Great Depression, and if it had focused on long-term structural changes rather than short-term relief measures.
