1. How did the Great Depression prompt change in the United States?

The great depresión let people and the government open their eyes. It was not prospering at that time

I'm not sure how long of a response you need/want, but the Great Depression opened the eyes of our government to be better at enforcing our economy. A change had to be made, so employers and the government made changes to the economy and money flow, such as raising minimum wage to persuade more people to work in the workforce.
