it was the largest federal government expansion in american history. it gave more power to the executive branch of government. The states were not able to successfully get out of the depression, so they gave up some of their state rights in order for the federal government to help them. This gave the federal government much more power in which to start new programs and agencies. (ie: social security) I'd say it was successful at the time, but many of the programs now are not effective or are outdated.

Oh my goodness yes!! FDR was the man, he's seriously one of my all-time favorite presidents...maybe my favorite. He made such significant changes when he was in office...things that are still relevant to this day. Because of him we have trust in the banks and he's the reason that the parties "switched" their priorities. FDR was definitely amazing. :)

Are you talking about Franklin D. Roosevelt's "quarantine" speech? That is what came to my mind. Other than that, I dunno, but here is a link to that oration. http://www.vlib.us/amdocs/texts/fdrquarn.html

FDR's welfare programs, the works programs, Social security\n\nLincoln violated the constitution by changing our currency from coinage to paper, income tax, West Virgina became a state illegally,  the Immansipation Proclamation was something that he had no right to do, it should have been done by a constitutional ammendment (Slavery did need ending)\n\nBill Clinton going into the Branch Davidian Compound, Ruby Ridge, the Eschelon computer program, the so-called assault weapons ban,  commiting purgury, putting our troops under another governing entity in the Balkins

A.\n\nThe national government does most of that with the taxes and then redistributes with things like Social Security and welfare.

Here's a statistic to blow your mind. The Great Depression caused 1 out of every 3 Americans to be unemployed. Only with Roosevelt's plan of giving them government project work did America rise back up as a renewed superpower.

The failing of democracy was wrought by a hand full of global masters and the Federal Reserve System. This happened in 1913 as our government let a few banks with few masters control our money. He who makes the money makes the rules. Our new form of govenment will be fascism as we now see taking place. As you`ll see towards the bottom of my answer JFK tried to restore the country making it`s own money, but you may know what price he paid for the idea.\n\n In describing the FED, McFadden remarked in the Congressional Record, House pages 1295 and 1296 on June 10, 1932: \n\n"Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government Board, has cheated the Government of the United States and he people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the misadministration of that law by which the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it".\n\nA federal Reserve Note. \n\nThe swindle of the system is simple. The Federal Reserve Bank hires the US Treasury to print up some money. The Federal Reserve only actually pays the treasury for the cost of the printing, they do NOT pay $1 for each 1$ printed. But the Federal Reserve turns around and loans out that money (or credit line) to banks at full face value, those banks which have exhausted their deposits then loan that Federal Reserve fiat money to you, and you must repay it in the full dollar value (plus interest) in work product, even though the Federal Reserve printed that money for pennies, or created it out of thin air in a computer.\n\nAs the Federal Reserve overprints more money, the money supply inflates, and too much money starts chasing too few goods and services, which means prices go up. But contrary to the charade put on by the Federal Reserve, inflation doesn't just come and go due to some arcane sorcery. The Federal Reserve can halt inflation any time it wants to by simply shutting down those printing presses. It therefore follows that both inflation and recession are fully under the control of the Federal Reserve.\n\nOver time, that excess of printing has destroyed the value of that dollar you think you have. If you want to know by just how much, go out and try to purchase 371.25 grains of silver right now. Usually, the deterioration is gradual. Sometimes, it has to be obvious, such as the 1985 devaluation (done to halt the trade imbalance) which triggered the Japanese real-estate grab in this country.\n\nMany politicians have attempted to reverse this process. John F. Kennedy issued an Executive Order 11110, requiring the Treasury Department to start printing and issuing silver certificates for the silver then remaining in the US Treasury. \n\nKennedy decided that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. This was the reason he signed Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the traditional Federal Reserve System.

1. The Military-Industrial Complex. World War II created a vast war industry, that was never really dismantled. In order to manage this vast military machine, the Pentagon was built (during the war). The war machine has been propping up the US economy for the last 60 years.\n\n2. The Presidency itself grew in power thanks to the actions of Fraklin Roosevelt. Truman was an activist president. Eisenhower wasn't as active, but most of his successors have liked wielding presidential power. The more power you want to wield, the more people you need working for you.\n\n3. Simply the growth of the United States. The population has almost doubled since 1940 -- more people, more needs. In order to fill the demands of the American people, there has been a need for more government agencies.

The Nazi government had an aim to try and better Germany and expand its borders for "living space". The policies and trends are completely different, so a direct comparison doesnt really work, but i see your point.\nThe current US gov is not, im my opinion making policies that greatly benefit the country, rather business and making rich people richer. The Nazi's, although very much misguided and twisted, did have grand plans to greatly improve Germany, which in some ways they did achieve (they achieved a lot of infrastructure improvements for instance).\nIt does have a nice ring to it though ;)

There is little doubt that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was our country's greatest and most well liked president.  He was elected mostly in landslides for FOUR terms, because he was against big business and for the "little man" at a time when our country really needed a hero.  He is the reason that a president can only serve two terms, because the conservatives were completely undone by a better philosophy!  He created more jobs per capita than any other president.  He created the New Deal, which enabled millions of people to capitalize on the nation's wealth, instead of simply the wealthy, whose attitude was, "screw you, I got mine!".  He was the first man to suggest and implement a highway system in this country, thereby creating more jobs.  He did the most work, he was the most admired, he brought pride back into people's lives after the Great Depression by allowing them to work through the creation of the Welfare system (before the conservatives screwed THAT up as well!).  There will never be another more beloved president!\nSecond edit:  You've gotta be kidding, sihatton!  Ronald Reagan created this country's biggest deficits until our current moron, er, I mean president!  Reaganomics was the beginning of the end of this nation staying solvent, until Bill Clinton came along!  And then Reagan II, the current Bush, the low-IQ imbecile came along to continue Reagan's failed policies!  How can you even suggest that piece of garbage, Reagan!!\nHey nunz7777, wake up!  Someone just stole your last brain cell!  Isn't it just like a conservative douchebag to take credit for Bill Clinton's great work?!!  What a brainless, bloodless freak!!

It might be than that the government would go back to being merely a servant of the people -- merely a temporary servant; And not the people a servant to them.\n\n Its function might be to obey orders, not originate them.\n\nMaybe.

Actually, Wilkie was the Republican opponent. Roosevelt's running mate was Henry Wallace, one of the New Deal brain trust and former Secretary of Agriculture.\n\nThe main issue, of course, was America's atttempt to stay out of the European war. Roosevelt had entered into Lend Lease, where the US would supply armaments to England in exchange for leases on naval bases in the western hemisphere. Of course, much of Roosevelt's second term had been unsuccessful because of the trouble with the conservative Supreme Court.

1. Abraham Lincoln--kept the nation together in its most difficult time and was comitted to stopping the spread of slavery.\n\n2. George Washington--gave the country a chance to grow and set many precedents for the future of the country.\n\n3. Franklin Roosevelt--Saw the country through the Great Depression and World War II, promoted essential anti-poverty measures.\n\n4. Harry Truman--Established the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan (both would prove critical in ending the Cold War), integrated the Army and put the Civil Rights movement on the national stage.\n\n5. Thomas Jefferson--Doubled the size of the country with the Louisiana Purchase and ensured that the government stayed in the hands of the people.

In many ways, Reconstruction at the state level profoundly altered traditions of southern government. Serving an expanded citizenry and embracing a new definition of public responsibility, Reconstruction governments established the South's first state-funded public school systems, adopted measures designed to strengthen the bargaining power of plantation laborers, made taxation more equitable, and outlawed racial discrimination in public transportation and accommodations. They also embarked on ambitious programs of economic development, offering lavish aid to railroads and other enterprises in the hope of creating a New South whose economic expansion would benefit black and white alike. But the program of railroad aid did much to undermine support for Reconstruction. Spawning corruption and rising taxes, it alienated increasing numbers of white voters.

you should be able to do a search on that pretty easily. I think the anti feds wanted a government like they had in britain. with kings and such so the constitution was against thier plan. it's like modern day socialist in america. everyone wants to be a socialist if they are the ones making the rules and determining pay, nobody wants to be at the bottom but when you feel you have a chance to be at the top you might push a little harder to rule others
