Business Leaders | They were unhappy with the regulations on working conditions, trade unions which allowed them to bargain with other employers on behalf of their members and the huge cost of welfare programmes that came from taxpayers. |
The States | Concerned about measures such as the TVA which cut right across individual state powers. Some states were worried that the Federal Government was becoming too powerful. |
Politicians | Republicans abhorred the Democrat Roosevelt. Thought he was making the Government too powerful and ruining their traditional ideology of 'rugged individualism' and 'laissez-faire'. Even some conservative Democrats opposed him. On the other hand, radicals like Huey Long thought that he hadn't gone far enough. |
The Supreme Court | They clashed with Roosevelt. It's judges (mainly old and Republican) ruled that many of the New Deal measures were illegal. Reached the climax - 1937, Roosevelt wanted some of the Supreme Court judges to be his supporters. Failed but opposition fell afterwards. |
