Question

how did the united states government attempt to reverse the effects of the great depression?
president roosevelt planned to take executive action that would force states to adopt new economic measures.
the federal government created an adjusted income tax that forced the wealthy to fund economic recovery.
the government passed legislation that provided relief, created recovery, and reformed economic institutions.
the department of the treasury authorized the federal reserve to print more money to cause inflation.

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. It aimed to provide relief (especially for the unemployed and poor), recovery (of the economy to normal levels), and reform (of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression). The first option is incorrect as it was not about forcing states in that way. The second option is not the main comprehensive approach. The fourth option is not the key strategy. The third option aligns with the New Deal's overall goals of relief, recovery, and reform.

Answer:

The government passed legislation that provided relief, created recovery, and reformed economic institutions.
