From the Paper
"The research showed that Thomas Jefferson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are widely regarded as two of the most important and influential presidents in United States history. The research also showed that these accolades are not without substance, and both of these individuals made enormous contributions to the nation's future and in Roosevelt's case, its very survival. In terms of their respective influence on the role of the Constitution in American life, both of these presidents made significant contributions to the manner in which judicial activism has emerged to help balance the other two branches of the government, but these efforts were in diametrically opposite directions during their two administrations. In reality, though, the times were also diametrically different and it is reasonable to posit to if they had been forced to trade places in time, each of these great American leaders might have responded differently, with Jefferson adopting some of FDR's philosophies about the need for a strong federal government and Roosevelt recognizing the importance of maintaining the sovereignty of the several United States."

In conclusion, the writer explains that even though these two men come from entirely different backgrounds, they shared the same philosophies, which allowed them to both become founding fathers of the United States.
From the Paper
"Jefferson's early political history seems to stem from entirely different roots than did Franklin's. At a young age, Jefferson inherited about 5,000 acres of land and dozens of slaves from his father, out of which he created his home which would eventually be known as Monticello. He practiced law in Virginia and in 1772 Jefferson married a widow, Martha Wayles Skelton. Jefferson served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. In 1774, he wrote A Summary View of the Rights of British America which was intended as instructions for the Virginia delegates to a national congress. The summary was considered to be towards the radical side at the time in terms of the view of the colonies towards the British government. It was not followed by the Virginia delegates, but it was published nationally and won Jefferson some national admirers who agreed with his ideas and who were impressed by his writing ability. Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, and a source of many other contributions to American political and civil culture. The Continental Congress delegated the task of writing the Declaration to a committee which included Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston. The committee met and unanimously solicited Jefferson to prepare the draft of the Declaration alone."

From the Paper
"One aspect of long-term economic reform that had to be made is related to the issue of deflation in the American currency. Roosevelt created the National Industry Recovery Act, which demanded that worker wages would incrementally increase along with prices. This reform helped to give rights to workers to build unions under the law, which gave them a greater ability to demand better wages. Also, the Nation Recovery Administration (NRA) was yet another alphabet organization that regulated pricing and wages in many different labor sectors, helping to create more stability and balance. This would eventually create the minimum wage standards that would increase with the inflation of money values, as well as the pricing used by big business and their products."

"One would be hard pressed to find a supporter of the Holocaust. Most Americans agree it was the single most horrible atrocity committed against mankind. It targeted victims based on nothing more than race or disabilities and murdered them after using them for free labor and experiments. "

Abstract
William Leuchtenburg's "Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal" is a text that combines recent American history with a political and sociological analysis of American policy and government and adds a healthy dose of biography of the president to give the mixture human drama. This paper presents a review of the book, tying many quotes of the original text into the review.
From the Paper
"Leuchtenburg sees the greatness of the Roosevelt administration in its ability to was reject out and out laissez faire economic strategies, as advocated by conservative, Republican monetarists, yet the administration also "shrank from embracing socialism," an ideology tempting not only to radicals but to many desperate Americans during what Leuchtenburg sees as this uniquely desperate time.

Abstract
This paper is about the Great Depression that hit Americans during the 1930's. The author goes into depth about FDR?s ?new deal? and how it helped get America out of the depression. Includes information about each program and how it worked.
From the Paper
"During the 1930?s, Americans witnessed a breakdown of the Democratic and free enterprise system as the US fell into the worst depression in history. At the depth of the depression, in 1933, one American worker in every four was out of a job (Conkin 136). During these times the people looked to the federal government for solutions. The president then, Herbert Hoover, did little for the country to get out of the depression, because he believed that the country did not have the power or money for social programs and many people blamed him for the depression. With the economy at an all time low people wanted change, change which Franklin D. Roosevelt offered through his legislative program. This program represented a new way of government for capitalism in America. Roosevelt first used the term "New Deal" when he accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932. He said "I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people," (Morgan 36)."

From the Paper
" Historians take different approaches to the same material, bringing to their subject their own experience, interests, and special knowledge, as well as their own ability to pull ideas together and draw conclusions. The portrayal of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in William E. Leuchtenburg's book Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal is one historian's view of Roosevelt and a period in history. Roosevelt was president at a time of crisis, and he responded with the New Deal as a way of coping with the problems of the Great Depression. The New Deal has become a mythic beast in American political thought, praised by some as the process which solved the Great Depression, while others see it as a problematic program that outlived its usefulness and changed the way government relates to the people in a detrimental way."

Abstract
Examines FDR's informal "black cabinet," the people who served in it, and its importance to national culture. New Deal reforms & black support. Black leaders who advised FDR. The President's motive in using black advisers: to use their ideas to remedy racism & to rely on their opinion on a wide number of other issues. Diversity of "black cabinet." Contribution of educator Mary McLeon Bethune & others. Gains made by the NAACP, National Urban League & National Council of Negro Women as a legacy of the "black cabinet."
From the Paper
"With the entrance of each new administration we now hear about the importance of making the president?s cabinet ?look like America?. That resemblance is never actually achieved, of course, if only because each American has a different idea of what it is that America really looks like. But amid the complex politics of inclusion ? at least when a Democrat is in the White House it is easy to overlook how far it is that we have actually come just over the course of the 20th century in terms of acknowledging that the differing experiences of different racial groups are all valid and that they must be included in an administration if the country is to be well run.
Many people deserve credit for bringing African-American voices into the mainstream of the national political process. But one of the people who deserves a fair measure of credit is often..."

The author points out that he was a president, a penman of the Declaration of Independence and a key contributor to the shaping of the U.S.; his name is matched by very few men.

From the Paper
"In his book, Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation, historian Joseph Ellis examines the relative influence and importance of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin. All six of these patriot leaders had a profound impact on events as the American colonists struggled first for independence and then to establish a new nation. But Thomas Jefferson was the most instrumental in creating the United States, primarily because of the broad range and enduring importance of his contributions. "
