The SEC and the Glass-Steagall Act

Among the New Deal's most significant achievements was the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This regulatory agency was tasked with overseeing the nation's financial markets, preventing fraud and protecting investors.

Roosevelt also signed into law the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial banks from investment banks. This measure aimed to prevent the excessive risk-taking that had contributed to the financial crisis and safeguard the public's trust in the banking system.
