question 2 / 5
the goals of these new deal agencies support the conclusion that the new deal -
a. gave the federal government a larger role in the day - to - day welfare of its citizens
b. forced citizens to participate in federal programs
c. gave preference to state - run agencies over federally run agencies
d. forced the federal government to adopt isolationist foreign policies

Explanation:

The New Deal was a series of programs and policies implemented by the federal government during the Great Depression to provide relief, recovery, and reform. These initiatives involved the federal government taking on a more active role in areas such as employment (e.g., through the Works Progress Administration), social welfare (e.g., Social Security Act), and economic regulation. It was not about forcing citizens (as in option B - participation was often voluntary in many aspects), preferring state - run agencies over federal (option C - it was a federal - led effort), or foreign policy (option D - isolationist foreign policy was not a main goal of New Deal domestic agencies).

Answer:

A. gave the federal government a larger role in the day - to - day welfare of its citizens
