The New Deal is the name given Franklin D. Roosevelt's plan to help bring the nation out of the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was a plan to bring economic relief, recovery, and reform to the nation. It was the first time emphasis was placed on making the federal government more responsive to the economic needs of the population. The legislation enacted by Congress during FDR's administration make up the New Deal.

The package included programs that put Americans back to work, programs that gave a safety net to the elderly, and programs that helped impoverished Americans to pay for food or medicine. Among the programs were the WPA (Works Progress Administration), Federal Writers Project, Rural Electrification Administration, the NRA (National Recovery Administration), and the Social Security Act. Not all of the many programs were successful, and some were ended, replaced by new ones.
