Regulations

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the differences between New Deal era regulations and the shift that took place in regulations and regulatory reform during the 1960s and 70s in the United States. It examines different regulatory policies from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's decision to implement new deal regulatory policies in an attempt to defeat the depression to more recent legislation such as environmental legislation during the 1960s and 1970s. It analyzes how regulations follow a consistent model, one that is based on improving the lives of America's citizens. From the time of the New Deal throughout the 20th century, the central focus of legislation has been to create and pass laws that will provide substantial benefits to various segments of our society.

From the Paper:

"The key to understanding New Deal legislation is to remember that it was aimed at curing the economic ills that prevailed during the Great Depression. However, as we begin to examine future legislation, we can see that the basic model remains the same and that additional regulation is an extension of the New Deal regulatory model. If we examine the regulatory policies of the 1960s and 70s, although they were not concerned with Depression issues or income distribution, they were still concerned with providing a quality of life for all Americans, particularly with regard to style of life, health and social justice.
Roosevelt worked diligently during his first 100 days in office and passed over 16 pieces of legislation, including the federal Emergency Relief Act, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the National Recovery Act. As his days in office continued, so did his penchant for enacting legislation to cure the economic woes facing the U.S."
