Which of the following most logically completes the argument? During the 1930s, Roosevelt’s New Deal expanded federal authority by creating several new government agencies designed to administer financial relief to the country, which had been devastated by the 1929 stock market crash and the ensuing economic depression. In the decades following the depression, however, policymakers grew uncomfortable with the amount of power that had been given to the federal government and sought to discontinue many of the agencies created under the New Deal. Although they feared another economic depression, many prominent economists of that time sided with those policymakers, since
(A) further expansion of federal authority would hinder economic growth and increase the risk of another economic depression.
(B) many agencies created under the New Deal were designed to provide financial relief, not to maintain economic stability.
(C) most Americans feared expansion of federal authority more than they feared another economic depression.
(D) the power and authority of many agencies created under the New Deal had expanded well beyond the limits defined in their respective agency charters.
(E) most policymakers of that time considered federal regulation of the market to be an emergency measure that, as such, should only be temporary.

B) many agencies created under the New Deal were designed to provide financial relief, not to maintain economic stability.

Explanation:

This option sounds more logical because it fits into the view of most economists, which is to achieve economic stability. However, those agencies weren't bringing economic stability but just giving out financial relief which does not guarantee economic stability.

Just as the old saying goes, "prevention is better than a cure" Hence, many agencies created under the New Deal were designed to provide financial relief (''a cure") but were not bringing about/maintaining economic stability ("a prevention").

i thing that the best option is a.they feared it would cause a second economic collapse.

one of the most negatives aspects of the new deal was that it upset the balanced federal budget and led to a huge deficit for the nation while at the same time failed to end increasing unemployment. roosevelt's program, based on keynesian theories of economics, called for massive government spending to stimulate the economy. as he   failed to do this with large tax increases; large sums of money were borrowed to fund new deal programs. when the economy showed some improvement, roosevelt was concerned about inflation, and ordered cuts in government spending. unfortunately, he did so at a time when the new social security tax had cut people's disposable income. businesses were too afraid of spending, and the economy in 1937 was in worse shape than in 1929. at the end of that year, two million people were unemployed.

- a government ruled by the people, or assembly. officials monarchy - a single ruler like a king. over time some city-states, like athens would change governments. what this means is that all the citizens voted on all the laws.
