Opposition to the New Deal

Question 4 • S1S-OC: US History A (E1202 - AG)

How did 1936 Republican presidential candidate Alf Landon react to the New Deal?

Answer
A
He supported the New Deal’s labor policies.
B
He disagreed with the New Deal’s social policies.
C
He disagreed with all policies of the New Deal.
D
He supported parts of the New Deal.

Explanation

Alf Landon criticized parts of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, especially its costs and administration, but he did not reject every program. He accepted that some federal relief and recovery measures were needed, so the best answer is that he supported parts of the New Deal. Choice C is too sweeping because Landon was not opposed to all of its policies.
