The stock market crash of 1929 caused our nation to go through a dreadful stage known as the Great Depression. Alarmed by the increasing numbers of unemployment and in applications for aid or relief becoming rather distressing, our nation’s 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt wanted to fix the hardships by proposing a number of projects through a plan known as the New Deal. Unemployment was and still is a national economic issue that Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to restore by putting into action the Social Security Act. The Social Security Act had amendments made to it throughout the years ever since it was created in 1935. Although the Social Security Act faced numerous challenges, it is considered one of the greatest moral successes of the 20th century.
