Apush Essay help

The quest is, did FDR new deal give too much power to the federal government, specifically the executive branch?
We are suppose to argue in favor or against it. I'm going to support this so, so far i've thought about writing about how while it may have given the executive branch too much power, it was necessary in order to combat the great depression-(would write about some of the agencies he created that would help the american public as well as social security, labor union) I was also thinking of writing a bit about president hoover's policies during the great depression and how they where not useful to help the nation out during the great depression(on contrast to FDR)
Anything else i am missing/should write about that would help me get a 90+ ?

Ignore my grammar i wrote this out in ~10 seconds plz ;D.

[quote=telllos]first of all, is there a time-era restriction for the prompt?
if not, i'd compare the power of the executive branch before the New Deal and after it
other than that, everything seems to be fine.
The only hard part of these is to write it in a way so that u show the reader everything explicitly WHY you're using the facts that you're using and not ramble. GL =D i usually get 8+~9's on my essay =D[/quote]
He said to try not to dwell too much into WWII so im guessing anywhere from the beginning up until ~1939-1940 would be the time-era restriction.

@tellos you guys are already on nixon? damn. Due to the time lost from hurricane irene or w/e it was call as well as snow days off from school my class is really rushing it atm. The AP test is next month so im hoping we somehow manage to learn everything up until present time.

"Since the New Deal, the powers of Congress have waned, whereas those of the presidency have expanded dramatically. Congress has surrendered more and more power to the president." From my textbook.
