The correct sentence showing proper capitalization is:

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the President of the United States during the Great Depression.

In this sentence, "President" is capitalized because it is used as a title before a name, and "Great Depression" is a proper noun referring to a specific historical event, which is also correctly capitalized.
