What was the fundamental change in America after the depression?

Answer 1

The major effect of the Great Depression and the New Deal on America was expanded government intervention into new areas of social and economic affairs and the creation of more social assistance agencies at the national level. The relationship between the national government and the people changed drastically. The government took on a greater role in the everyday social and economic lives of the people. The public began to expect more direct action between the government and themselves. The Great Depression and the New Deal measures led to the domestic programs of JFK's New Frontier, and LBJ's Great Society and War on Poverty. The New Deal measures have also had an influence on the current Obama administration, in its attempts to stimulate the economy.
