Question

how did the new deal programs change the role of the federal government?
it increased the government’s role in the economy.
it decreased the government’s role in labor relations.
it decreased the amount of government spending.
it increased the president’s influence over the supreme court.

Explanation:

The New Deal programs were implemented during the Great Depression. These programs involved the federal government creating agencies and implementing policies to regulate the economy, provide relief, and promote recovery. This meant the government took on a more active role in economic matters (like creating jobs, regulating industries, etc.). The other options are incorrect: the New Deal increased government involvement in labor relations (e.g., labor laws), increased government spending (due to programs), and the attempt to influence the Supreme Court (court-packing) was not successful in increasing influence over it.

Answer:

A. It increased the government’s role in the economy.
