Answer:

The main purposes of the New Deal were relief, recovery, and reform. By relief, the president meant that he intended to aid people in need right now by providing employment, food lines, and welfare. The goal of the recovery was to restore the economy and put an end to the Great Depression.

The Additional Deal imposed new restrictions and protections on the financial industry, as well as measures to re-inflate the economy following a dramatic drop in prices. During Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term in office, the New Deal initiatives comprised both congressional legislation and presidential executive orders.
