Roosevelt proposed a New Deal for the American people, this was based on the "three R's". These stood for relief, recovery & reform.
Relief: Aimed at the homeless and unemployed
Recovery: Aimed at building up the economy
Reform: Aimed at creating a fairer society
The new deal involed the government taking direct federal action to help America and also went against the republican idea of rugged individualism which was employed by Hoover during the previous years.
The first "Hundred Days" saw many government agencies set up to tackle America's problems. These became known as the alphabet agencies.
