Question

my friends: i want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the united states about banking - to talk with the comparatively few who understand the mechanics of banking, but more particularly with the overwhelming majority of you who use banks for the making of deposits and the drawing of checks. - franklin d. roosevelt march 1933 who is the audience for this speech? wealthy bankers ordinary consumers foreign diplomats

Explanation:

The speech mentions "the people of the United States" and specifically addresses "the overwhelming majority of you who use banks for the making of deposits and the drawing of checks". This indicates that the intended audience is ordinary consumers who use banking services for basic transactions like deposits and check - writing. Wealthy bankers would be part of the "comparatively few who understand the mechanics of banking", which is a secondary group in this context. Foreign diplomats are not mentioned at all.

Answer:

ordinary consumers
