Answer 1

In 1936, Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt was reelected to the presidency of the United States with more than 60% of the popular vote and 98% of the electoral votes. His immediate persecutor, Republican Alf Landon, was supported by the wealthiest sectors of American society, who believed that the taxes they paid to pay for the New Deal policies were excessively high, and that the programs that this plan had imposed did not they were as efficient as they should be, wasting taxpayers' money.
