Answer 1

The four-month period between Roosevelt's election and his inauguration was marked by 3. high unemployment rates and an economic downturn.

This period, known as the "lame duck" phase, saw significant economic challenges, including widespread unemployment and the Great Depression's ongoing impact. Roosevelt's New Deal policies were anticipated but not yet in place at that time.
