Which of these was NOT an eﬀect of the New Deal?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating the impact of the New Deal, it helps to examine the major claims and what the programs actually did.
Option 1: It laid the foundations of the welfare state. This is generally seen as true, since New Deal programs established social insurance (like Social Security) and unemployment protections that expanded the role of the federal government in providing economic security. This marked a shift toward a welfare-oriented framework.
Option 2: It attracted new groups of voters into the Democratic Party. This is also accurate. The New Deal realigned political support, drawing labor unions, urban poor, some ethnic minority groups, and others into the Democratic coalition, changing electoral dynamics for years.
Option 3: It expanded the power of the federal government. Indeed, New Deal policies greatly increased federal authority across many sectors—relief programs, banking regulation, agricultural support, and public works—establishing a more centralized and active federal government than before.
Option 4: It ended the Great Depression. This statement is historically inaccurate as a sole cause-and-effect claim. While the New Deal mitigated hardships, created jobs, and reformed the economy, the Great Depression did not fully end until the mobilization for World War II and subsequent economic shifts. Therefore, this option does not describe an effect of the New Deal, making it the correct choice for the question asking which statement is NOT an effect.
