Answer:

that the program gave too much power to the government.

Step-by-step explanation:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was an American politician and statesman who was elected as the 32nd President of the United States of America in 1933. He was born on the 30th of January, 1882 in Hyde Park, New York, United States of America.

The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was an American agency that was established on the 6th of May, 1935 by President Franklin Roosevelt with Executive Order No. 7034, under the New Deal Programs (relief program).

The main purpose of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) was to provide employment opportunities for millions of job-seekers during the Great Depression. This program employed mostly unskilled workers to carry out or execute public works infrastructure projects such as construction of roads, public school buildings, hospitals, bridges, airfields, drainage and sanitary sewer lines, and the plantation of trees.

Furthermore, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) sponsored projects in the arts by employing thousands of writers, musicians, actors, and other skilled artists.

However, the Works Progress Administration’s was highly criticized for its creation of artistic and infrastructure jobs because people felt the program gave too much power to the government.
