Answer 1

President Roosevelt dissolved the CWA in 1934 due to public criticism regarding the lack of continued benefits of the program. However, since the CWA was successful during its brief existence, Roosevelt decided to replace the program with the WPA, which continued to provide similar benefits for the remainder of the Depression.
