What was the major conflict during Franklin Roosevelt administration?

The major conflict during Franklin Roosevelt was that The US Supreme Court ruled six of eight New Deal Programs unconstitutional. President Franklin Roosevelt and Congress hoped to improve economic conditions in the United States during and immediately after the Great Depression through a series of programs known as the New Deal. Unfortunately, Roosevelt inherited a court full of older justices who disapproved of the legislation, and declared six of Congress' eight major Acts unconstitutional, thwarting Roosevelt's plans. Roosevelt was angry with the justices, whom he referred to as the "Nine Old Men," for refusing to allow New Deal policies to work as intended. In Roosevelt's mind, the Supreme Court presented a major obstacle to economic recovery and stabilization because of their conservatism.


Why did President Hoover do very little during the Great Depression to alleviate poverty?

Actually he made several attempts at legislation and acts during the Great Depression but no proved effective to uplift the States out of the Great Depression. Firstly, he created the Federal Relief Commission (RFC) that was to provide loans to big corporations; Secondly he created the Hoover Dam which not only created jobs, but also provided energy. Additionally the Hoover Dam was a project that would eventually pay out for itself because of the recreation lake (Lake Powell) created at the same time. Moreover he passed the Home Loan Bank bill, the Emergency Unemployment relief Agency (the gov gave funds for states to distribute to the poor) and the Agricultural Marketing Act. Although these last few appeared ineffective, it counters your point that "Herbert Hoover [did nothing] during the Great Depression".

What was the great depesion?

The Great Depression was a terrible period from 1929 to 1940, when almost every country on the planet suffered from unemployment and economic disasters. Massive numbers of men (and women who rarely worked outside the home) lost their jobs, went homeless, did criminal acts to survive and many people committed suicide. The Great Depression was too many goods were purchased on credit and when the time came to pay up, there was no money to pay the bills. In Germany, the Great Depression led to fascism and Adolf Hitler, while in the USA, the GD led to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal. The Great Depression was ended by WWII and building weapons to stop the Axis powers from world conquest. After WWII, there was a period of economic prosperity for many years. Americans were very well off and they used the Marshall Plan to restore Western Europe and Asia devastated by the world war.
