New Deal by Mariana Toma https://padlet.com/matoma50895/lkxmezuwjf3u Mariana Toma, Melissa Palacios, Braxton Spencer en-us 2019-03-18 19:34:21 UTC 2023-02-19 20:40:30 UTC hello@padlet.com Francis Townsend brspen12639 https://padlet.com/matoma50895/lkxmezuwjf3u/wish/342598121  Dr. Townsend (1867--1960) was an american physician who devised the Townsend plan, a popular proposal for state funding old age pensions. The plan the end of the great depression by opening up jobs for younger workers while forcing older to spend more money in the consumer economy.Townsend's letter led to the formation of an organization and the development of a formal Plan. The Plan was then published as a pamphlet and distributed throughout America. Townsend fully expected Roosevelt to endorse his plan. Roosevelt, like most establishment figures of the era, saw the Townsend Plan as irresponsible and unworkable. Indeed, there is some evidence that Roosevelt was prodded to introduce his Social Security proposal to counter the growing influence of the Townsend Plan.  I believe he had a huge impact because even the Roosevelt administration used a form of it to help end the great depression.]]> 2019-03-18 20:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/matoma50895/lkxmezuwjf3u/wish/342598121 Charles Coughlin brspen12639 https://padlet.com/matoma50895/lkxmezuwjf3u/wish/343516746 Charles Coughlin (1891--1979) was born on October 25,1891, in Hamilton,  Ontario, Canada. He graduated from the University of Toronto in 1911. He then attended St. Basil's Seminary in Toronto, and was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1916.  He believed that only Roosevelt could pull the United States out of the Great Depression and, at the same time, protect the country from the perceived communist threat.  Once president, however, Roosevelt appeared to ignore Coughlin's contribution to getting him elected, and slowly distanced his administration from Coughlin's rough populism. He impacted the great depression by using radio. He was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience: during the 1930s, an estimated 30 million listeners tuned to his weekly broadcasts. ]]> 2019-03-20 19:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/matoma50895/lkxmezuwjf3u/wish/343516746 CCC matoma50895 https://padlet.com/matoma50895/lkxmezuwjf3u/wish/343519164 Civilian conservation Corps (CCC) 1933

The AAA offers payments to farmers after taking some of their farming land. The AAA was considered unconstitutional with the ruling of the supreme court but later was rewritten and passed again. In my thinking this is one of the most significant since critics would say that the AAA helped bring hope to farm communities and also one of the first to be enacted.]]> 2019-03-20 19:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/matoma50895/lkxmezuwjf3u/wish/343519949 U.S. V Butler brspen12639 https://padlet.com/matoma50895/lkxmezuwjf3u/wish/343524685  In 1933, Congress enacted the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) to allow the Secretary of Agriculture to set limits on the production of certain crops and tax farmers that produced in excess of those limits. The AAA also provided grants to farmers to control their production of crops and thus regulate prices. Butler (plaintiff), a processor of crops, brought suit against the United States government (defendant) in federal district court to challenge the constitutionality of the AAA. The district court ruled that Butler was required to pay taxes under the AAA, but the court of appeals reversed. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari. 
U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cl. 1 confers upon the Congress power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States. The true construction of this clause undoubtedly is that the only thing granted is the power to tax for the purpose of providing funds for payment of the nation's debts and making provision for the general welfare.
