Answer 1

Answer #1: The country's economic problems had grown worse and people thought Hoover wasn't doing enough.

Answer #2: Some people said the legislation had not gone far enough and others thought it gave too much power to the government .

Context/details:

#1: Herbert Hoover began his service as President of the United States in 1929. He was in office when the Great Depression began, and was blamed for the fact that the country struggled as it did. The problems that led to the Depression had been building up for years before Hoover took office, but as the leader of the country when the troubles hit, he was the one who took the bulk of the criticism. And Hoover really had no solutions to the problems. In the 1932 presidential election, he was defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt implemented "New Deal" policies to combat the Depression.

#2: When Roosevelt implemented his New Deal policies, critics on the left said the plans weren't doing enough to help the poor and disadvantaged, and that too much of the rotten system of capitalism was being left in place. Critics on the right accused Roosevelt of turning the country toward socialism and government control of the economy. It was impossible to please people on both sides, and Roosevelt was doing his best to get the country working again.
