Promt:
How did each person define the word “liberty” concerning the federal government’s responsibility, and what ideas/philosophies did they draw upon to support their argument? Use historical details (events, programs, names, dates, etc.) to illustrate the period (the 1930s).
How are these ideas related to the current time (think of Republican/Democratic/Bernie Sanders)? Use examples (historical and the present) to support your answer.
Must Use a quote from each speech (two are part of this file down below)
FDR used the terms liberty and freedom in a 20th-century sense.
Hoover (not running for president that year) represented the classical form of those terms.
Requirements:
350 words or more (the better)
Provide historical evidence/examples to support your opinion
Use several sources to support your argument.
For this Opinion Piece, you can just use Google. I will provide the sources in the upcoming assignments.
I expect quotes from at least two sources.
