II. Impact of the New DealObjective 9.05

A. Political Opposition • Conservatives: Concern

about deficit spending.• Why might deficit spending

be a concern?• Liberals: thought FDR

didn’t do enough, wanted to take money from really wealthy and give it to less wealthy.

B. Supreme Court Opposition• Said New Deal programs

were unconstitutional – federal government didn’t have the power to do these things.

• FDR created “The Court Packing Plan” – increase the number of judges on the Supreme Court.• Select up to 6 more (make the

number 15), and he could pick ones he knew would approve of the New Deal programs.

C. Economic Recovery• Economic outcome: limited

success in actually improving the economy.

• HOWEVER, it brought hope and stability to the economy, which made it feel very successful to the American people.

• Long-term impact: expanded the role the government played in the economic and people’s lives.

Independent Practice• Create two different propaganda posters

to promote two different New Deal agencies.

• Your posters should bolster the opinion of the agency and attract people to use the service it provides.
