4.What was the purpose of the social security act?

The purpose of the social security act was and is to provide welfare/benefits/money or however you would like to say it to those that either no longer can work or can not work at all. People that the social security helps are elderly people, young crippled children, crippled adults, those who are not able to work anymore because of an injury which in itself would be called a disability check, and many others.

Why did Roosevelt plan a Second New Deal?

Roosevelt planned a Second New Deal because he realized his political support could be undermined by attacks from the left and right. He also planned it because his first new deal plan failed. He planned a Second New Deal hoping it would speed up the economic recovery for the nation.

Opposition to FDR's New Deal came from both the left and right wings. The left wing believed that there were too many regulations on businesses and the latter felt like the federal gov's role was much greater than states'. The right wing especially opposed Roosevelt's deficit spending.

1. How did the right wing and left wing politicians feel about Roosevelt’s New Deal?

The right wing felt the new deal imposed too many regulations on business and that it expanded the federal governments power at the expense of states rights. The left wing believed that Roosevelt had not gone far enough. They wanted the government to intervene even more dramatically in the economy to shift wealth from the rich to middle income and poor Americans.

Why did Roosevelt plan a Second New Deal? To fight the Great Depression's economic issues. This is shown when acts like Social Security Act and the Wagner Act was made.

Why did Roosevelt plan a Second New Deal?

Because Roosevelt has confidence that he could make things better contrasted sharply with Hoover's apparent failure to do anything effective. Also the second New Deal had expanded the federal government's power at the expense of states'rights.
