The preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America lists several reasons for why the people came together to ordain and establish that constitution.

What does it actually mean to provide for the public welfare? Conservatives believe The United States government has expanded beyond its constitutional boundaries with a liberal reading of this phrase. Many believe that in order to provide for the general welfare the government must provide for the needs of those individuals not capable of providing for themselves. But the extent of this directive is a cause for great political debate when weighing the directive against its costs.

The people didn't like the government as they though they were responsible for the depression and so this is why riots were started.
