¶ … Second New Deal
Many of the New Deal early bills had been drafted fairly hastily, and thus were declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court (New pp). President Roosevelt now exploited developing class divisions, formed closer relations with organized labor, and increasingly castigated the big business groups that were opposed to his New Deal programs (New pp). Beginning in 1935, these reverses, together with the political opposition, resulted in a second flood of legislation, referred to as the Second New Deal, that included measures such as higher taxes for the rich, strict regulations for private utilities, subsidies for rural electrification, and a bill of rights for organized labor known as the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, which gave federal protection to the bargaining process for workers and established a set of fail employment standards (New pp). The National Labor Relations Act, sometimes referred to as the Wagner Act, guaranteed workers the right to organize and bargain through unions, and the federal Labor Standards Act of 1938, mandated maximum hours and minimum wages (New pp).
In 1935, a new federalized work relief program was administered by the Works Progress Administration, and Congress enacted the Social Security Act, which contained three major programs, a retirement fund, unemployment insurance, and welfare grants for local distribution, including aid for dependent children (New pp).
The New Deal expanded the role of the federal government, especially in economic regulation, resource development, and income maintenance, and although it failed to stimulate full economic recovery, it provided the government with an increased understanding of the economic consequences, thus limiting the impact of later recessions (New pp).
The Second New Deal shifted the weights according to the constant objectives, of recovery, relief, and reform (New1 pp).

New Deal is often studied as a set of policies targeted towards welfare relief and economic development. However, the New Deal had a very important social justice component as well, particularly with regards to racial justice. Eleanor Roosevelt was leading crusader for human rights and racial equality, while President Roosevelt had an informal network of African-American appointees who were known as the "Black Cabinet." Part of the goals of
New Deal Assistance President Roosevelt's New Deal Program failed to do enough for those hit hardest by the Depression: Impoverished Afro-American and white citizens working in the rural areas of the U.S., the elderly, and the working class. There are several reasons why these constituents remained outside the reach of the New Deal program. First, there had been in general very little focus on the needs of these constituents. The New
