Long’s perception championed the rights of the “common man” through financial stimulation and federal spending on public works. By 1935 He had promoted and produced a plethora of roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, old age pensions, and as well as supplied free immunizations to nearly 70 percent of the population. The reality of Long’s projects had provided thousands of much needed jobs for a lower class culture, creating a “working class” society. Although immensely popular for his programs and willingness to take forceful action, "I used to try to get things done by saying 'please', now...I dynamite 'em out of my path.” Long’s open-minded philosophies were often misinterpreted. His argument “Every man a King” suggested that every person is equal

Also during the 100 days, Roosevelt created alphabet agencies to put the new acts into practice. The alphabet agencies were also set up to relief depression of both industry and agriculture. One agency was The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This was an agency that was aimed at unemployed young men mostly.
The Electoral College also unequally apportions electoral votes due to the significant population increase since it was established. The Electoral College is created by Article II of the Constitution, and is further outlined in the 12th Amendment. As described by Nicholas R Miller, “designing the mode of selecting the President was one of the most difficult tasks that confronted the framers,” (3). In determining how to elect the president, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 considered three options: appointment by legislature, a direct election by the people, or a hybrid of both. Appointment by legislature was considered, as that was the method most states used to elect the governor; however, delegates feared it would upset the balance of the three branches of government by making the president beholden to congress (Johnson 12-13).

Similarities and Differences: T. Roosevelt vs. W. Wilson Michelle Neuman HIS204 Professor Carl Garrigus July 8, 2013 Similarities and Differences: T. Roosevelt vs. W. Wilson The election of 1912 was an election that changed the country, as 75 percent of all votes cast were for a Progressive candidate. The candidates were Theodore Roosevelt, a staunch Progressive who ran under the newly created Bull Moose Party; William Howard Taft, a Republican; and, Woodrow Wilson, a Progressive Democrat. The race was one of astounding victory for the progressive way of thinking. While there were definite parallels in the two men, the contrasts were far more striking. Even though Roosevelt and Wilson were both supportive of the progressive movement, they ran for President under two completely different parties, and this was not their only difference.
Research Paper President Obama's New Deal vs. President Roosevelt's New Deal The original new deal that was proposed by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930's during the great depression many columnists believe that it has been revamped into something that President Barack Obama believes can jumpstart the American economy. Since both of these men are from the Democratic Party and were voted into office by the American people under the promise that they would and could help jumpstart the economy that would lead to a decrease in unemployment. They both had a huge responsibility to the American people to hit the ground running.

American President and the British Prime Minister The American and British governments are two of the most powerful in the world, and have been for multiple centuries. America is the most powerful nation in the world with the best military, followed by Britain’s. Britain is a small island, in comparison, that has seen attempted takeovers for the last 1000 years to no avail. There are some similarities in the two but the United States government is very hard to imitate because it is so strangely organized, it is one of a kind systematically. The U.S. President and the British Prime Minister are both very powerful with respect to their government, but there are fundamental systematic differences that are important to understand.
