FDR And Hoover: Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
17 pages in length. Stifled by the economic conditions of the Crash of 1929, Herbert Hoover's presidential career was off to a bad start and only became progressively worse over the next few years. Had he lived in another time, his political prowess and idealistic policies may have worked infinitely better; however, he immersed himself amidst a quagmire of one bad policy move after another until the country reached one of its lowest economic points of all time. Franklin Delano Roosevelt followed behind Hoover in the presidential position and promised to clean up the political, economic and social disarray Hoover had left behind, a tremendous challenge he met head on and one that would ultimately establish him as the greatest leader of democracy, the greatest champion of social progress in the 20th century.

FDR's "Splendid Deception" and its Motivations
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing FDR's efforts in hiding his paralysis from the American public in relation to Smith's views of public and private behavior. Critics of laissez-faire economics claim that the stance is hard and uncaring, that government needs to do more for the people it governs. Adam Smith's characterizations of market behavior being motivated by self-interest is seen to preclude any participation in warmth or altruism. Smith himself had no difficulty in reconciling these motivations, and neither did Franklin D. Roosevelt. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

FDR's "Splendid Deception" and its Motivations
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing FDR's efforts in hiding his paralysis from the American public in relation to Charles Smith's views of public and private behavior argued in Critique of Sociological Reasoning. Smith holds that all human behavior, including that resulting from the experience of disability, can be categorized into three levels. The experience of Franklin D. Roosevelt is used here to illustrate those levels and then proclaim that while FDR operated from all three levels, it was Level 3, the most altruistic, that could most frequently describe his behavior as related to his disability.

FDR: Disability And The Presidency
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. There are myriad personal and professional assets that lend themselves to a successful president; among them are integrity, sound judgment, compassion and executive ability. Conspicuously absent from the long list of characteristics is the element of physical disability, an absence one can surmise exists because it has absolutely nothing to do with the competency to lead a country. However, Franklin Delano Roosevelt understood the nature of his lameness and what it could very well mean for his political career if he did not take great strides to minimize the obvious, inasmuch as the nation was not progressive enough at this point in time to accept a president whose physical health was anything less than one-hundred percent – even if it had absolutely no impact upon his leadership prowess.

Franklin Pierce, America's 14th President
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing the administration and background of the 14th President. Franklin Pierce was not a bad president, but neither was he an exceptionally good one. He set off to plot a course for the country that he believed would be beneficial, but the expansion to which Pierce was dedicated succeeded only in inflaming calls for war. Though he believed he was taking the nation forward, in reality he was taking it forward into civil war. His personal life was tragic, and it appears he chose not to see the tragedy of the Civil War toward which his policies took the country. Most personal details are from the 1852 account of friend Nathaniel Hawthorne. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
