cutting back on new

new deal labor and

Explanation:

To determine what Alf Landon opposed, we analyze the context of the 1936 presidential election and his conservative stance. Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal involved extensive government programs. Conservatives like Landon typically opposed the expansion of New Deal programs. Let's evaluate each option:

• "government involvement in social issues": While conservatives may have some views on this, it's not the primary opposition related to Roosevelt's New Deal.
• "limiting the president’s power": There's no strong historical indication that Landon's main opposition was about limiting Roosevelt's power in this context.
• "cutting back on New Deal programs": This aligns with conservative opposition to the expansive New Deal programs, as they favored less government intervention in the economy.
• "New Deal labor and business policies": While related, the broader opposition was to the New Deal programs as a whole, and "cutting back on New Deal programs" is a more comprehensive and accurate description.

Answer:

cutting back on New Deal programs.
