The Great Depression and the New Deal — Test

Question 21 • United States History and Geography

Which best illustrates public attitudes toward conservative New Deal opposition?

Answer
A
The 1936 Republican presidential candidate lost in a landslide.
B
Several New Deal policies were declared unconstitutional.
C
Senator Huey Long was assassinated in Louisiana in 1935.
D
Several New Deal provisions were upheld by the Supreme Court.

Explanation

In 1936, Republican candidate Alf Landon opposed many New Deal policies but lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt in a landslide. That result shows that voters broadly rejected the conservative opposition to the New Deal at the time. Court rulings and Huey Long’s assassination do not directly show public attitudes toward that opposition.
