Answer:

far greater authority towards the federal government and the executive branch

Step-by-step explanation:

can't see the document but FDR considered that the federal government should take leadership in times of crisis. FDR overhauled federal oversight and regulation in financing, banking, and lending. FDR created strong social programs such as the public works which provided jobs as well as social security. FDR attempted to appoint extra judges to the Supreme Court to gain favorable judgments on his policies, as well as winning 4 terms as president, rather than the unwritten rule of only having 2 terms. Overall FDR envisioned the federal government having a powerful position over state or local government in times of crisis.
