Question

which of the following was a major difference between the first new deal and the second new deal? (1 point)
only the first new deal supported the creation of new government employment agencies.
only the first new deal attempted to reform banking and investment practices.
only the second new deal tried to protect workers by supporting collective bargaining.
only the second new deal established a financial system that provided aid to groups, such as the elderly and disabled.

Explanation:

• The First New Deal created agencies like the WPA, so the first option is wrong.
• Banking reform (e.g., FDIC) was part of the First New Deal, making the second option incorrect.
• Collective bargaining support (via the Wagner Act) came in the First New Deal, so the third option is wrong.
• The Second New Deal established the Social Security Act, which aids the elderly and disabled, a program not present in the First New Deal.

Answer:

D. Only the Second New Deal established a financial system that provided aid to groups, such as the elderly and disabled.
