Most Americans catechized in the Regime historical narrative believe that the New Deal was a tremendously successful economic program that brought America out of the Great Depression and that FDR was the savior of America both with regard to the domestic economic disaster and the Second World War.But to those who would depart from the approved court history, the New Deal was a radical political revolution that removed popular sovereignty from the elected legislature and established a managerial Regime, erecting a massive administrative state that actually governs the nation and discarding the constitutional republic that had existed since 1787. All that remained was a nominal constitution.
