The New Deal programs had a profound impact on American society during the Great Depression. Enacted under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, these reforms aimed to provide relief for the unemployed, stimulate economic recovery, and reform financial systems. Programs like the Social Security Act, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) helped reduce unemployment and provided essential services and infrastructure. The New Deal also expanded the role of the federal government in the economy and established a social safety net, reshaping the relationship between citizens and the government, and laying the groundwork for future welfare policies.
