When the Constitution was first written by America's founding fathers, they intended the executive branch to serve the nation's citizens with their best interests at heart, but they stated that in no way should this branch be more powerful than any other: it should be constantly checked and balanced by the legislative and judicial branches. In James Madison's Federalist Number 48, he states that in a representative republic “the executive judiciary is carefully limited; both in the scope and duration of his power” (Federalist No. 48). The Founding Fathers never intended for the role of the President of the United States of America to become "imperialist" in the sense of the government taking too much control and becoming too involved in FDR's affairs. He believed in a "New Deal" America, containing social welfare and unemployment, Medicare, government involvement in the economy to help regulate and set standards. Both of these presidencies changed the fabric of American society by bringing the country as a whole to face incredibly difficult issues and showing how, with government intervention, the economy can be revived even in the most difficult times. For example, it was largely because of FDR's CCC plan that millions of men found jobs during the Great Depression, and millions were able to keep those jobs as maintenance workers for the infrastructure they built. Harry Truman, inaugurated on April 12, 1945, also boosted executive power, but in a period of social and political crisis, rather than financial crisis.
