US election of 1932

The election of 1932 is said to be a turning point in American politics because it significantly changed the federal government’s perceptions about the laissez-fare economy and pushed for more “people friendly” policies from D. Roosevelt who was elected. He promised a new deal for the Americans, who were facing a lot of difficulty as a result of the Great Depression. He called for more government spending to help an economy that was collapsing. This optimism changed the face of American politics forever. It also called for higher private spending as well as production of goods and services to revive the economy. The Americans accepted the greater role played by the federal government to help them.
