The three broad aims of the New Deal during the hundred days were relief, recovery, and reform. FERA (Federal Emergency Relief Administration) was formed to give federal money to unemployed people. Also, the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) helped improve national parks, replant forests, and offered jobs to the unemployed. The next important aim of the New Deal was recovery. The AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Act), passed in 1933 helped farmers by paying them to reduce their production of wheat, corn, and cotton. The final aim of the New Deal was reform. The TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) was a very large public power project in Tennessee that increased the standard of living for people in the area by helping control floods, providing cheaper electricity, preventing soil erosion, helping river navigation, and producing fertilizers.

The main goal of the New Deal was to stimulate the US from all the troubles of the economic depression that faced our country. There were three main aims of the New Deal. The first was to relieve the poor who needed food and clothes. The government sent millions of dollars to families so they would be able to buy the necessary things they needed. The second was to recover from the Depression they did this a couple ways. One was to suspend the antitrust laws and let corporations come up with codes of conduct which allowed for fair competition and the second was to pay farmers to reduce their production to raise prices. The third aim was reform, many of these reforms helped bring down the cost of the necessities such as electricity.

I don’t know what they mean by measure

The three broad aims of the New Deal during the hundred days focused on recovery, reform and relief. The Agricultural Adjustment Act and the National Industrial Recovery Act both sought to raise prices by cutting production. The AAA paid farmers to reduce their commodities.
the National Industrial Recovery Act encourage manufacturers to cooperate in setting up codes of reasonable competition and suspend antitrust laws. The Tennesse Valley authority, one of the most successful projects in the hundred days, was a giant public power project that controlled floods, provided cheaper electricity, and improved river navigation. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration gave money to states and local agencies to support the unemployed, this act allowed families to buy food, clothing, and shelter. The Civilian Conservation Corps hired young men to do local projects that helped the environment. All of these reforms during the hundred years war improved the economy during the last years of the "Great Depression".

Relief-The FERA distributed federal funds to more local agencies for relief of the unemployed. The CCC provided public works jobs.

Recovery-The AAA paid farmers to reduce their output of commodities. The National Industry Recovery Act actively encouraged trusts.

Reform-The TVA controlled floods. It also provided electricity, produced fertilizers, halted erosion, and improved river navigation.

The New Deal had three different overarching aims. They where relief, recovery, and reform.

An example of relief was the government giving families money to buy food, clothes, and other needed items.

One thing done by recovery was the government trying to raise food prices with a cut in production, achived by paying farmers to grow less crops.

A measure taken for reform was the Tennesse Valley Authority (TVA). The TVA was an overarching public power project in the valley of the Tennessee River. It was to controls floods and provide cheaper electriction, while also producing fertilizers, improving river navigation, and halting soil eroson.

These are all parts of the New Deal.

The three broad, central aims of FDR's New Deal during his first hundred days were to provide relief for the needy, recover from the Depression, and establish economic reform that would prevent future depressions. Refief for the needy was in part provided by the establishment of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration(FERA). FERA distributed federal funds to state and local agencies, who distributed them for direct relief of the unemployed. The Agricultural Adjustment Act(AAA) of 1933, was designed to help farmers by cutting thier production, which would in-turn raise the prices of thier goods. This act famers to recover from large debts and constantly falling prices. The AAA paid farmers to reduce thier output of commodities such as wheat, corn, and cotton. Preventive measures were also taken to fend off future economic depressions. The Tennesse Valley Authority(TVA) was a public power project located in the valley of the Tennessee River. The project controlled floods, produced fertilizers, stopped soil erosion, and provided cheap electricity which raised the standard of living in the river valley, previously quite a poor region.
