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
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. "

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."

From the Paper
"Within the realm of human psychology, many attempts have been made by numerous researchers and psychologists to discover an enduring syndrome of personality traits which effectively describe individuals with great leadership abilities. Thus, for many years, researchers in the field of human psychology have focused on the concrete behavior of leaders found within various cultural groups and different situations. Overall, the personality traits of great leaders include those that enable an individual in a particular situation or crisis to contribute in a large measure to the achievement of a common goal or those that lead other members of their particular culture/society to believe that common goals can be achieved."

Abstract
The paper reveals that Franklin D. Roosevelt was one of the most loved Presidents in United States history. The paper provides a look at Roosevelt's early years, his private life and and his ascension to political power. The paper discusses his political achievements, including the fact that he brought the United States out of a Depression, he stabilized the economy, he created sweeping welfare reforms, he lead the United States to victory and justice after the Pearl Harbor attacks and he was a hero for minority groups. The paper asserts that Roosevelt succeeded in establishing the United States as a leader in the world.

From the Paper
"Franklin D. Roosevelt was one of the most loved and adored Presidents in United States history. He was immensely confident but always diplomatic. He connected to American citizens on an individual and personal level in a way that many other presidents did not. He had the warm personality of a good friend, and also the cool confidence to bring a country in distress out of turmoil. Francis Perkins once said that FDR was "the most complicated human being I have ever known (Polenberg, 2000)."
"He certainly was an enigma, but he was also the most praised and influential American leader of the 20th century. He created the modern welfare state, he created government programs that guaranteed at least a basic standard of living for every American citizen, he changed the way that presidents and politicians use the media to address constituents, and he progressed class, ethnic, and racial interests for a number of groups (Polenberg, 2000). His progress would continue long after his death, and many of the programs that he initiated are still very much active today (social security, welfare, SSI, and the FDIC)."

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 argues against the general historic consensus that Franklin D. Roosevelt was an advocate for the American people and that his New Deal organizations had the charitable agenda to redistribute wealth and power in the U.S. The paper shows that those historians who believe this idea fail to recognize the social and economic realities of the 1930s. During this decade the majority of the American people were starved, poor and unemployed. The author of the paper argues that Franklin D. Roosevelt's seemingly liberal reforms imposed by the New Deal did not effectively draw upon the wealthy to provide assistance to the needy, but were proposed in a manner that helped FDR maintain his position as president. As chief executive, Roosevelt enacted measures to preserve capitalism in order to increase government power.

From the Paper
"Roosevelt was a shrewd politician who used empty promises to appeal to the average citizen and gain initial public support for his presidency during the depression. Thus, people were easily misled to believe that Roosevelt's actions as president equally benefited labor and industry. During the early 1930's millions had lost their jobs and "men, women, and children were perishing because of plain lack of food and undernourishment." This caused Americans to lose faith in the capitalistic system and turn towards the government for help. Entering office in 1932, Roosevelt was expected to solve the "serious [economic] problems" in America, which had caused men to lose their "sense of security for the present and future necessary to the peace and contentment of the individual and his family.""

Abstract
Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal had a very important social justice component, particularly with regards to racial justice. President Roosevelt had an informal network of African-American appointees who were known as the "Black Cabinet." One of the goals of the New Deal was thus to promote racial equality by creating federal agencies to help ease discrimination against African-Americans and creating economic opportunities for the advancement of black citizens. This paper examines two articles that deal with FDR'S New Deal on African-Americans. The first article examined is "The New Deal and the Negro: A Look at the Facts", written by FDR's Adviser on Negro Affairs, Robert C. Weaver in 1935. The other article discussed is "The Dual Agenda of African American Organizations since the New Deal", by Dona Cooper Hamilton and Charles Hamilton, written in 1992.

From the Paper
"For Hamilton and Hamilton, black intellectuals like Weaver and Ralph Bunche would fall in the period they dub the "consensual stage," which lasted from the New Deal years into immediately after World War II. During these years, many activists for African American rights tended to subordinate their civil rights agendas to the need for economic policies such as social welfare. Weaver clearly demonstrates the prevalence of this idea when he tries to rally black citizens' support for the New Deal, based on the plan's economic components."
