Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject History - America, grade: 2,0, University of Constance, course: Organisation and Administration, language: English, abstract: My paper will trace the era of the 32. President of the United States of America, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)1, Member of the Democrats, who introduced the president as an active and representative member of the government. His presidency (1933-1945) had a duration of three terms, and part of a fourth term. He emerged as the Great Depression and the banking crisis had reached their peak. America was in need of governmental intervention. Whilst the Hooverian times can be cited as having stood under a rather diffident administration, the FDR era signifies a shift towards activeness of the executive branch in terms of decision making and the initiating of laws. Roosevelts' presidency is in so far one of the most significant in the history of the American presidency, as this administration would overcome certain historical concepts, that had often before proven to be problematic. There were issues such as the strict separation of powers and the Congress' domination over the White House which were seen upon differently 1947, when Truman took over the presidency from FDR, than in 1932, before Roosevelt was elected. This transformation through Roosevelt's administration has its foundation in many aspects. It overcame problematic historical concepts such as the strict separation of powers and the Congress' domination over the White House and changed it for good. Also FDR gave a new meaning to agenda setting and managed to define a new president-to-citizenrelationship, making use of news media and radio to directly communicate to the people whilst before him the president and his personality played a minor role in this office. But the most important action Roosevelt took was initiating the "New Deal",a concept which contains so many levels, that they can hardly be outlaid in total in this term paper. It is a complex and disputed topic that is in some points even held vaguely, countless books have been written about this era and viewed it from historical, legal, institutional, even psychological aspects.
