Need help!! Due tomorrow.
1. According to each President, who could best bring about social and economic change?
2. What actions did each President take to respond to the Great Depression?
3. Roosevelt asserted that the expanded reach of the federal government to solve economic
problems was not an essential change to the Constitution. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Reed, between Roosevelt and Herbert. I know President Roosevelt, but very little of the Great Depression. And again thank you.
Wow! If you don't have a helpful answer, then don't answer. Michael, try Brainly. People are not very helpful on here.
To answer these critical thinking questions, you will need to do some research on the presidents and their policies. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to find the answers:
1. Start by researching each president's speeches or statements regarding social and economic change. Look for quotes or interviews where they mention who they believed could best bring about these changes. You can start with reliable sources such as presidential libraries, official government websites, or reputable news outlets.
2. For this question, you will need to study the actions taken by each president during the Great Depression. Look for policies, initiatives, or legislation that they implemented to address the economic crisis. Again, start with credible sources, such as history textbooks, academic articles, or documentaries that discuss the Great Depression and the presidential responses.
3. To answer whether you agree with Roosevelt's assertion about the expanded reach of the federal government, it is important to understand the context and meaning behind it. Read about Roosevelt's New Deal policies and how they expanded the role of the federal government in the economy. Then, consider the arguments for and against this expansion and think critically about the implications it has on the Constitution. Look for legal and constitutional scholars' opinions to help form your own response.
4. To understand how each president believed the federal government should "promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty," you'll need to study their policies and initiatives related to this concept. Look for speeches, executive orders, or legislative actions that aimed to improve the welfare of the American people while upholding liberty and freedom. Libraries, government websites, and historical archives are excellent resources to find primary sources on these subjects.
Remember to critically evaluate the information you find, consider various perspectives, and use evidence to support your answers. Good luck with your assignment!
