From the Paper
"The research showed that Thomas Jefferson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are widely regarded as two of the most important and influential presidents in United States history. The research also showed that these accolades are not without substance, and both of these individuals made enormous contributions to the nation's future and in Roosevelt's case, its very survival. In terms of their respective influence on the role of the Constitution in American life, both of these presidents made significant contributions to the manner in which judicial activism has emerged to help balance the other two branches of the government, but these efforts were in diametrically opposite directions during their two administrations. In reality, though, the times were also diametrically different and it is reasonable to posit to if they had been forced to trade places in time, each of these great American leaders might have responded differently, with Jefferson adopting some of FDR's philosophies about the need for a strong federal government and Roosevelt recognizing the importance of maintaining the sovereignty of the several United States."

This paper explores the role Franklin D. Roosevelt played in the Holocaust?s perpetuation. The writer argues that the President did so little to stop the Holocaust and its horrors that he was actually complacent in the murder of millions of Jews and others targeted by the Nazi regime.
From the Paper
"One would be hard pressed to find a supporter of the Holocaust. Most Americans agree it was the single most horrible atrocity committed against mankind. It targeted victims based on nothing more than race or disabilities and murdered them after using them for free labor and experiments. "

Successes and Failures of the New Deal
From the Paper
"One aspect of long-term economic reform that had to be made is related to the issue of deflation in the American currency. Roosevelt created the National Industry Recovery Act, which demanded that worker wages would incrementally increase along with prices. This reform helped to give rights to workers to build unions under the law, which gave them a greater ability to demand better wages. Also, the Nation Recovery Administration (NRA) was yet another alphabet organization that regulated pricing and wages in many different labor sectors, helping to create more stability and balance. This would eventually create the minimum wage standards that would increase with the inflation of money values, as well as the pricing used by big business and their products."

Abstract
William Leuchtenburg's "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal" is a text that combines recent American history with a political and sociological analysis of American policy and government and adds a healthy dose of biography of the president to give the mixture human drama. This paper presents a review of the book, tying many quotes of the original text into the review.
From the Paper
"Leuchtenburg sees the greatness of the Roosevelt administration in its ability to was reject out and out laissez faire economic strategies, as advocated by conservative, Republican monetarists, yet the administration also "shrank from embracing socialism," an ideology tempting not only to radicals but to many desperate Americans during what Leuchtenburg sees as this uniquely desperate time.

Abstract
This paper is about the Great Depression that hit Americans during the 1930's. The author goes into depth about FDR?s ?new deal? and how it helped get America out of the depression. Includes information about each program and how it worked.
From the Paper
"During the 1930?s, Americans witnessed a breakdown of the Democratic and free enterprise system as the US fell into the worst depression in history. At the depth of the depression, in 1933, one American worker in every four was out of a job (Conkin 136). During these times the people looked to the federal government for solutions. The president then, Herbert Hoover, did little for the country to get out of the depression, because he believed that the country did not have the power or money for social programs and many people blamed him for the depression. With the economy at an all time low people wanted change, change which Franklin D. Roosevelt offered through his legislative program. This program represented a new way of government for capitalism in America. Roosevelt first used the term "New Deal" when he accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932. He said "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people," (Morgan 36)."

From the Paper
" Historians take different approaches to the same material, bringing to their subject their own experience, interests, and special knowledge, as well as their own ability to pull ideas together and draw conclusions. The portrayal of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in William E. Leuchtenburg's book Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal is one historian's view of Roosevelt and a period in history. Roosevelt was president at a time of crisis, and he responded with the New Deal as a way of coping with the problems of the Great Depression. The New Deal has become a mythic beast in American political thought, praised by some as the process which solved the Great Depression, while others see it as a problematic program that outlived its usefulness and changed the way government relates to the people in a detrimental way."

Abstract
Examines FDR's informal "black cabinet," the people who served in it, and its importance to national culture. New Deal reforms & black support. Black leaders who advised FDR. The President's motive in using black advisers: to use their ideas to remedy racism & to rely on their opinion on a wide number of other issues. Diversity of "black cabinet." Contribution of educator Mary McLeon Bethune & others. Gains made by the NAACP, National Urban League & National Council of Negro Women as a legacy of the "black cabinet."
From the Paper
"With the entrance of each new administration we now hear about the importance of making the president?s cabinet ?look like America?. That resemblance is never actually achieved, of course, if only because each American has a different idea of what it is that America really looks like. But amid the complex politics of inclusion ? at least when a Democrat is in the White House it is easy to overlook how far it is that we have actually come just over the course of the 20th century in terms of acknowledging that the differing experiences of different racial groups are all valid and that they must be included in an administration if the country is to be well run.
Many people deserve credit for bringing African-American voices into the mainstream of the national political process. But one of the people who deserves a fair measure of credit is often..."

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth examination of the Benjamin Franklin's achievements in life and how D.H. Lawrence's view of the world affected his evaluation of these achievements. The author looks at Franklin's many achievements including the development of electricity and its many off-shoots, the development of a postal system, the creation of bi-focal glasses and the invention of the fireplace and stoves. Franklin's strong sense of family and family values, his knowledge of weather and weather patterns, his negotiating skills and subsequent successes in international relations are also discussed in detail. The author then demonstrates how D. H. Lawrence criticizes each and every achievement of Franklin's without hesitation and in many of these instances, without any logical reasoning.
From the Paper
"All of the things we are discussing would have a much different meaning if it were not for Ben?s skills as a negotiator. Without help from the French the result of our war to get the British out of America could easily have failed. Our navy fought remarkably well as did our army, but they had smaller numbers and did not have the experience and training of the British troops. The additional resources supplied by France were essential. The negotiations to acquire this kind of support were very difficult. Only a person of Ben?s intellect and charm could have made it happen. Franklin had not only the French to deal with, but also the other two Americans that were part of the commission. ?Coming straight from London, Arthur Lee [one of other two on the commission] arrived in Paris shortly after Franklin and proceeded immediately to find fault with everything his colleagues were doing?and not doing. A highly intelligent man, trained in law and medicine, but afflicted with a fair degree of paranoia, Lee was a Franklin-hater of long standing (Lopez and Herbert 234).? Lawrence can only complain about Ben?s ability to create a situation where America was able to create its own country rather than staying under British rule. He cannot tolerate independence and creative thought in a country that broke away from his native England."

Abstract
This paper examines Franklin D. Roosevelt's four consecutive terms in office. It gives a chronological tale of the main events during his presidency and how he dealt with them, as well as his major achievements and changes that he made. The paper details several incidents in which FDR managed to strengthen the government and the presidency and fight against corruption.
From the Paper
"As a president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt left an indelible mark of the progress of United States history. He was the only president to have been elected four consecutive terms, and it was only his death that prevented him from running for a fifth. He utterly changed the role of the presidency in American politics, moving the executive branch into a role of increased power and importance.
"FDR?s presidency began at a time of great hardship for America. Unemployment stood at 25% of the work force, industrial production was down to nearly nothing, and banks were closing left and right. People who had work their entire life to put aside a small savings often saw that money entirely lost by the collapse of yet another bank or stock. The situation was remarkable dreary."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Franklin D, Roosevelt and his governmental successes in 1936. The author examines Roosevelt's judicial revolution during the time that marked his steps for victory and support.
From the Paper
?I may give you an awful shock in about two weeks,? Franklin D. Roosevelt had confided to a close adviser on January 15, 1936.The Supreme Court had successively rejected his New Deal reforms meant to provide economic and social relief. Roosevelt resolved that the solution to the depression lay in the addition of new, liberal justices who would approve his programs. The next month, the president alarmed the nation with a proposal to reorganize the judiciary. The highly controversial ?court packing? bill generated ripples of protest and debate. While critics accused Roosevelt of scheming to expand his personal power, many began to reexamine current conditions to determine what was needed to overcome the standstill of the recovery from the Great Depression. The deteriorating economic and social conditions and a series of unpopular Supreme Court decisions opened doors to criticism and analysis of the nine justices, and after the court packing bill, the pressure from the president, Congress, and the public reached its pinnacle. The proposal itself died out without much success, but its consequences were momentous. The threat of the bill, along with Roosevelt?s awesome victory in 1936, drove the Supreme Court to abandon its mechanical interpretation of the Constitution and open its eyes to the ?plainest facts of our nation.? The bill played a key part in the judicial revolution process by acquiring the two swing votes that were the critical factors in the Court?s decisions. Later its pressure pushed many justices to retirement, allowing Roosevelt to crowd the Supreme Court with his supporters, and truly concretize his victory."
