Problem 1: How does President Roosevelt seek to redefine "freedom" and "tyranny." Explain.
Problem 2: How do his definitions of freedom and tyranny represent a departure from the then traditional American understanding of the terms? Be specific.
Problem 3: Although he says little specific about the New Deal, FDR clearly is trying to link the New Deal to a new concept of freedom. How can one make that case explicitly?
Problem 4: What about the circumstances in 1936 would've made Americans receptive to FDR's arguments?
Problem 5: Do you agree with FDR's vision of what true freedom means? Why or why not?
