Evaluate the extent to which President Franklin Roosevelt's policies were effective in addressing the problems of the Great Depression during the period between 1933 and 1941.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

President Franklin Roosevelt's policies were relatively effective in addressing the problems of the Great Depression during the period between 1933 and 1941.

Let's have in mind that previous US President Herbert Hoover did not react before that critical moment of the US stock market crash, and practically did nothing to help the millions of American citizens that lost their jobs when companies closed.

However, as soon as Franklin D. Roosevelt took the presidency, he designed a series of economic programs and establish legislation that was known as the New Deal. That series of economic programs and legislation was aimed to help the American people that had lost everything in those years of the Great Depression after the US stock market crash of October 29, 1929.

Of course, there were positives and negatives of some programs. Critics can question the amount of money used by the federal government to support these social programs. However, many of them really created the so much-needed jobs in that time and represented a relief to the harsh economic conditions that the US faced in those years.
