Directions for writing citations
For these essays, use
parenthetical citations to our course material to show what material influenced
you in your writing (i.e. use citations to indicate what you have read that you
are drawing upon in summary, paraphrase, quotations, for ideas, etc.)
In the 1932 presidential
election, sitting president Herbert Hoover criticized candidate Franklin D.
Roosevelt’s proposal for a “New Deal,” arguing that it would “destroy the very
foundations of the American system of life.” FDR won the election and put the
“New Deal” into action. Did FDR “destroy the foundations of the American
system” or were his actions compatible with the preamble to the Constitution?
Or [third alternative] are both claims supportable: FDR destroyed (or at least
fundamentally changed) the “American system of life” and his actions were
compatible with the preamble?
In your essay, consider the time period
from at least 1928 to 1943.
For more on Hoover’s criticism of FDR’s
New Deal, see, among many sources, Hoover’s “Address at Madison Square
Garden in New York City,” October 31, 1932.
