Answer 1

The chief complaint of conservatives against the New Deal made the government too powerful.

Answer 2

Made the government too powerful

Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal was intended to serve America to overcome the Great Depression held in 1929. The method in which Roosevelt desired to achieve this was by formulating various different governmental business programs. This incorporates plans like the Civilian Conservation Corp.

Nevertheless, conservatives believed that the marketplace operates most beneficial when the administration has limited engagement. They believed that such plans made the government too powerful and hence they opposed these federal programs.
