Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal had several different elements that helped American society including the following:

1) Fair Labors Standard Act- This law established several different parts of American society we still see today including: federal minimum wage and established the 40 hour work week. Along with this, it also severely limited the amount of child labor used in the US.

2) Social Security Act- This law helped to give direct financial assistance to elderly American citizens. Besides helping elderly, it also helped individuals who were hurt in industrial accidents and mothers with children who are dependent on them.

3) Securities and Exchange Commission- This government agency regulated to stock market and focused on stopping fraud and insider trading.
