Many Americans sought a strong government during the Great Depression in the 1930s, as widespread economic hardship led to a demand for federal intervention to provide relief and recovery. The New Deal, introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, reflected this desire for a robust government that could implement programs to support struggling citizens and stabilize the economy.

After the American Revolution, many Americans were wary of a strong central government because they associated it with the tyranny and oppression they had experienced under British rule.

This sentiment ultimately influenced the design of the Articles of Confederation, which established a weak national government.
