Opposition to the New Deal — Cumulative exam

Question 6 • S1S-OC: US History A (E1202 - AG)

Which best illustrates public attitudes toward conservative New Deal opposition?

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

Explanation

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s overwhelming victory over Republican candidate Alf Landon in 1936 showed that voters broadly supported the New Deal, despite conservative opposition. Landon won only two states, making his landslide defeat the clearest evidence of public attitudes. Court rulings and Huey Long’s assassination do not directly show how voters responded to conservative opposition.
