Roosevelt to address the economic challenges of the Great Depression. During this Congress, significant legislation was passed, including the Social Security Act and the National Labor Relations Act. The Congress was composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate, with a Democratic majority that supported Roosevelt's initiatives to stimulate economic recovery and provide relief to American citizens.
