The New Deal included all of the following elements EXCEPT
A.
the FDIC, which guaranteed bank deposits.
B.
the Tennessee Valley Authority, which created dams and electricity plants.
C.
the Social Security Administration, which created pensions through a payroll tax.
D.
the Congress of Industrial Organizations, which organized labor unions.
D. the Congress of Industrial Organizations, which organized labor unions. (This is incorrect. The New Deal actually did include the Congress of Industrial Organizations, which was established in 1935 as a federation of unions that focused on organizing industrial workers. The correct answer is actually E. None of the above.)
To determine which of the elements is NOT included in the New Deal, we need to understand what the New Deal was. The New Deal was a set of programs and policies introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Its aim was to provide relief, recovery, and reform to the American economy and society.
A. The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) was indeed a part of the New Deal. It was established in 1933 to restore confidence in the banking system by guaranteeing bank deposits up to a certain amount.
B. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was also one of the key components of the New Deal. It was created in 1933 and aimed to develop the Tennessee Valley region by building dams and electricity plants, providing electricity, preventing flooding, and promoting economic development.
C. The Social Security Administration (SSA) was another important part of the New Deal. It was established in 1935 and introduced the Social Security Act, which created a system of pensions through a payroll tax. This program aimed to provide financial support to retired and disabled individuals, as well as to survivors of deceased workers.
D. The Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) was not a specific element of the New Deal. The CIO was actually a federation of industrial unions that formed in the 1930s as a response to the challenges faced by workers during the Great Depression. Although the CIO fought for the rights of workers and was active during the same time period as the New Deal, it was not directly established or controlled by the government.
Therefore, the answer to your question is D. The New Deal did not include the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which organized labor unions.
