APUSH Chapter 24 Test

"Illuminated by the stern-lantern of history, the New Deal can be seen to have left in place a set of institutional arrangement that constituted a more coherent pattern than is dreamt of in many philosophies. That pattern can be summarized in a single word: security - security for vulnerable individuals, to be sure, as Roosevelt famously urged in his campaign for the Social Security Act of 1935, but security for capitals and consumers for workers and builders as well. Job-Security, life-cycle security, financial security, market security - however it might be defined, achieving security was the leitmotif of virtually everything the New Deal attempted." - David M.
