The initiatives set out in the fair deal were a) embraced by congress and all its points were passed. b) embraced by congress points and some of its points were passed. c) met with opposition by congress and none of its points were passed. d) met with opposition by congress, but some of its points were passed.

The correct answer is D. The initiatives set out in the Fair Deal were met with opposition by Congress, but some of its points were passed.

Explanation:

The Fair Deal was President Harry S. Truman's political program. The Fair Deal was originally associated with the initiatives he presented in his State of the Union address in Congress on January 5, 1949. The term has also been applied to Truman's domestic policy reform plan during his presidential term from 1945 to 1953.

The most important bills were voted down by the conservative alliance of Southern Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Among the most important proposals were educational support, general health insurance, a ban on racial and gender discrimination in employment processes and greater freedom of action for trade unions. Truman only had a breakthrough for the bill on public construction and housing insurance of 1949. On the other hand, Congress did not repeal the most important New Deal programs that were still operational, and the changes were of minor importance.
