OK, so Roosevelt's programs gave the federal government a lot more power to take part in what is known as "federal economic intervention." Basically that meant that the government was allowed to try and help the economy by interfering in agriculture, big business, banks, etc.
Based on that, do you have any ideas about which one it could be? Or can you eliminate any options that are obviously not the right answer?
