Question

why was the new deal significant in expanding the federal government’s responsibilities?
it granted the federal government the power to manage trades between states
it required the government to enforce equal protection under the law
it introduced programs to address widespread economic challenges
it established judicial review to ensure constitutional laws

Explanation:

The New Deal was a series of programs, public work projects, financial reforms, and regulations enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States between 1933 and 1939. Its main goal was to address the Great Depression's economic challenges. Among the options:

• The first option is incorrect as the New Deal was about economic relief, not inter - state trade power.
• The second option is incorrect as the New Deal was not focused on equal protection under the law (that's more related to civil rights legislation).
• The third option is correct because the New Deal introduced programs like the Civilian Conservation Corps, Social Security, etc., to tackle unemployment, poverty, and other economic issues of the Great Depression.
• The fourth option is incorrect as judicial review was established by Marbury v. Madison, not the New Deal.

Answer:

The option "It introduced programs to address widespread economic challenges" (the third option in the list of choices).
