Question

why did alf landon and conservative leaders oppose the new deal? choose four correct answers.
they thought that the new deal interfered with business and labor practices.
they thought that the new deal gave roosevelt too much power and influence.
they thought that the new deal raised taxes too much.
they thought that the new deal kept states from regulating their own affairs.
they thought that the new deal didnt introduce enough regulation in business.

Explanation:

To determine why Alf Landon and conservative leaders opposed the New Deal, we analyze each option:

1. "They thought that the New Deal interfered with business and labor practices." Conservatives often favored less government intervention in private enterprise, so this is a valid reason.
2. "They thought that the New Deal gave Roosevelt too much power and influence." The New Deal expanded federal power, which conservatives (who favored limited government) opposed.
3. "They thought that the New Deal raised taxes too much." Tax increases to fund New Deal programs would be opposed by conservatives who support lower taxes.
4. "They thought that the New Deal kept states from regulating their own affairs." Conservatives support states' rights, so federal overreach limiting state regulation is a concern.

The option "They thought that the New Deal didn't introduce enough regulation in business" is incorrect because conservatives generally opposed increased regulation, so they wouldn't criticize the New Deal for not having enough regulation.

Answer:

• They thought that the New Deal interfered with business and labor practices.
• They thought that the New Deal gave Roosevelt too much power and influence.
• They thought that the New Deal raised taxes too much.
• They thought that the New Deal kept states from regulating their own affairs.
