Roosevelt’s attempt to increase the number of U.S. Supreme Court justicesImportant Ideas & Essential Questions:The Great Depression had several causes, Manufacturers were producing more goods than consumers could buy. People were speculating in the stock market and real estate, driving up prices. Tariff barriers reduced international trade. When the New York Stock Market crashed in Octover1929, it set off a chain reaction. Investors lost savings; companies could not sell stocks to raise money; manufacturers closed factories; prices dropped; and unemployment grew. Make-shift shanty homes, known as “Hoovervilles,” grew up on the outskirts of towns. Many people relied on soup kitchens for food, Dorothea Lange and John Steinbeck depicted the human suffering of the Great Depression. On the Great Plains, over farming and a drought in the 1930s turned soil into dust. Farmers had to leave the “Dust Bowl.” Many farmers migrated to California.About a half a million Mexican-American workers were forcibly sent back to Mexico because of the Mexican Repatriation program. The supply of money in the economy affects the rate of economic activity. Some economists believe the Federal Reserve Board reduced the money supply during the Great Depression when it should have expanded it. During the Great Depression, women often had the job of holding things in the family together when their husbands were unemployed. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt addressed women directly in her book, It’s Up to the Women. Most Americans felt President Hoover did too little, too late to combat the Great Depression. He cut taxes and established the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to make loans to banks and businesses. But he failed to provide direct emergency relief since he feared undermining American’s “rugged individualism.” Roosevelt’s New Deal consisted of measure of Relief, Recovery, and Reform. For Relief, he declared a Bank Holiday, made emergency loans to home owners, and gave the unemployed jobs through work –relief projects. For recovery, he sought to “prime the pump” by putting money in to the economy to get it going. He established voluntary codes for businesses to follow, and passed legislation to keep farm prices up. For reform, Roosevelt proposed Social Security, a program with insurance for the unemployed or retired, on order to provide a safety net. He also introduced the FDIC to protect bank deposits and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to prevent fraud on the stock market. There were many critics of the New Deal. Father Conklin, Francis Townsend and Huey Long proposed giving government money directly to the needy. The U.S. Supreme Court overruled part of the New Deal in Schechter v. U.S., on the grounds that Congress could not give the President powers that were not granted directly or indirectly in the Constitution. Roosevelt developed a Court-Packing Scheme, where he proposed that the President appoint an additional Justice to the Court for each one over the age of 70.5. This plan was rejected by Congress and the American public as an attempt to upset the traditional balance of power that existed in American government.
