Franklin D. Roosevelt became the 32nd president of the United States. His governing varied from the previous administration's known ways of governing through the principles of a laissez fair-isc economy. This led to FDR confronting an obstacle in his ambitious plan of passing his New Deal reforms for the country. Roosevelt added liberal justices to The Supreme Court to neutralize the heavily conservative Supreme Court which blocked the passing of the New Deal. Roosevelt was able to bypass the court and finally implement his New Deal reforms. These reforms adjusted the interest rates as well as repair farm subsidies and construct new short-term work programs to increase employment. The public's opinions saw a shift as people became more welcoming to a more present governing strategy.

The Stock Market was economically expanding as more people began to invest with the availability of credits. These credits also contributed to more consumerism leading to the value of businesses to rise. Businesses' stock value exceeded their real value which eventually caused the decline in business value to occur with less purchasing happening in the economy as many accumulated debt from their reliance on purchasing using credit. Many panicked as stocks declined. This led to the mass-selling of stocks to avoid heavy loss, especially since many purchased stocks using credits.This led to 16,14,030 shares being traded lending to the loss of billions of dollars. Stocks values fell to 20% of what they were with this day factoring into The Great Depression.

Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of The United States. His approach towards governing the country was following the ideas of Laissez-Fair. This economic policy led the Roaring 20s to occur during the Presidency of Calvin Coolidge of which Herbert Hoover served as Secretary of Commerce. Although this policy was heavily favored by most as it bred forth a free market constantly innovating, it would also help tear down what it formed. With Herbert Hoover taking place as the 31st president, we started to see the negative effects spiral out of the Roaring 20s. Stocks were falling as debt rose. Soon enough, many were left unemployed in a country whose economy collapsed. Herbert Hoover public opinion shifted as he vetoed bills that commended direct relief for the citizens as he viewed the economic problems would be best resolved by the people. Hoover saw this concept of fixing the problem as mandatory in supplementing the push towards a stronger Nation. Hoovers' hopes never came to fruition as this only painted him in a negative light within the eyes of the public which instead viewed Hoover as an unsympathetic leader who was unfit to lead the country during times of crisis.
