This two major event took the economic power from the state government to the federal government. The economy regulation became a federal because the federal government is stronger than the state government and it is more equipped to deal with the vast growing economy. Globalization took the fast-growing economy from local to global, which made America the global economics power. Although these events played out over many decades, they reached their high points during the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt (1933–1945).

Many businesses failed, roughly one-third of the population was out of work, and poverty was widespread. In response, Roosevelt implemented the New Deal, a series of programs and policies that attempted to revive the economy and prevent further depression. The New Deal included increased regulation of banking and commerce and programs to alleviate poverty, including the formation of the Works Progress Administration and a social security plan. In order to implement these programs, the national government had to grow dramatically, which consequently took power away from the…

In this chapter from The American Political Tradition and the Men Who Made It, Richard Hofstadter recalls the legacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt from his birth to his death. The main idea within this chapter is the influence politics had on FDR’s life. From his wealthy upbringing, to the duration of the Great Depression, and right up until his death, FDR held a passion for politics. His life became more significant after he was diagnosed with polio and fought his way to remain relevant and override the rags-to-riches story. Bed stricken and all, this period of time is seen as FDR’s “spiritual transformation” giving him the ability to “[understand] the problems of people in trouble.”(Frances Perkins) The story of FDR proves to be optimistic and…
